Whats that an average of? What line of work? How high up in that line,
how many years is that? Starting off? Heh get in contact with the
hungarian black market if you want games cheaper. In any case using poor
salary as an excuse for not purchasing a game is not an excuse at all,
if you dont have the money to buy a game, you either need to, 1 work
harder, or 2 heh get the hell out of the country, by the way is that 200
monthly weekly or what?

Well lets see here, 600 for MS OFFICE 95 huh.... Well the AVERAGE wage
here depending of course on where you work, lets say burger king heh a
normal job that anYONE can get, bout hmmmm you work your ass off 400
every 4 weeks, 100 a week, after 6 weeks (2 months) you could get MS
office (im rounding up there) so your charged more in terms of how much
you make, well its hard to really say anything since I know NOTHING
about hungary or anything of the sort, heh never really thought I would
be talking to a guy from there either but.... heh anyways you mentioned
200 and im guessing thats average wage, again I dont know what its an
average OF so? Hard to answer that. Heh I also never said I had a thing
against pirating, i simply said it takes 3.x billion out of the buisness
and away from people and whatnot who probably make more than they need
to doing what they want to anyhow... ANYWAYS! Damned tangents. piracy,
hmmm heh...........
joe.
