It's often not "practical" that a family share the same car either, yet they
are able to make it work when they can't afford a new one. Sometimes, the
family can afford the actual physical vehicle, but they can't afford the
added insurance, taxes, registration fees, and gasoline expenses of a second
vehicle.
Thus, my point is not irrelevant because if a family cannot afford ALL of a
second computer, they should work out a way to make do with what they have.
Don't get me wrong, I think all computers, hardware and software, should be
absolutely free and the governments of the world should mandate that the top
floors of all buildings be reserved as expense-free luxury living spaces for
software and hardware engineers where all their wants and needs will be
provided for at no expense (to them).
In the meantime, software will have to be licensed and end-users will have
the opportunity to accept or decline use of that software under the
conditions of the license agreement. It's really not that hard and not that
expensive.
