Haha, you should see how rampant it is in M'sia, makes it virtually impossible for us to buy original software! Yup, that bad.

Are you serious?

Don't tell me that there isn't a shop nearby that sells licensed software?

Dashken · 15th Dec 2003, 06:55 PM

Nope. It's mostly either hardware shop or shops selling p stuffs.

peaz · 15th Dec 2003, 08:36 PM

there are shops selling original stuffs but it's soo few cos a large majority don't buy them.. thus.. it's simply suicidal (business sense) to stock up one things no one buys.... thus is the case here... sad but true.

unless price changes, like books... books here in Malaysia are generally cheaper than in US, i doubt the situation would improve in any ways.

Dashken · 15th Dec 2003, 10:23 PM

Books are quite expensive... for me that is.

RM40+ for a book?

Falcone · 16th Dec 2003, 12:41 AM

Oh yeah! try buying a book for 40 pounds

Well there is the Software Boutique at SS2, that one has the most complete Original Sofwares around, since the rest had died.
