Subject:ETKA & ELSA ?

Have I caused a stir or what?!

All I wanted was information leading to more knowledge and the acquisition
of ETKA and ELSA.
I certainly got more than what I bargained for in regard to ETKA, that's for
sure.

I do agree that selling something you don't own is just as criminal as
stealing it in the first place.
This goes against all rules (if there are any) of being a Robin Hood, who
gave freely what was never his to begin with.
Giving away or proliferating something that made it's way, so be it
illegally, out of the corporate circle is the way us liliputs thumb our
noses at massive corporations that rule the world and hold us all by our
privates.

I pay many thousands of dollars per year to keep the software for my
business up to date and more thousands for the computer upgrades necessary
to keep the software updates running at a reasonable pace. Engineered
obsolescence is a crime but so is stealing, yet we're robbed blind every day
by our governments. It's a catch-22. We all have to draw that ethical line
somewhere in the sand and stay well on the proper side of it. For me, if
it's not used to benefit me monetarily, in business or otherwise, I'm not
against it. Otherwise it's off limits. I wouldn't pay for or sell pirated
anything.

And back to the part of my original question that didn't get answered...

Where can I get ELSA?
For this, I am looking for more information and a legitimate point of
purchase, but wouldn't turn down a freebie. Thanks!
