Pack Info ...

Windows 7 May Also Be Purchased In 'Family Pack' ... The Family Pack for Windows 7 Home Premium would fall in line with similar licensing Microsoft already has for the Home & Student Edition of Microsoft Office 2007... There's no word on Family Pack pricing yet, but Bott's guess is that we'll see a Family Pack with a $189 price tag... Although he doesn't explicitly state this, Bott suggests that a price of $189 would be used since it undercuts by ten dollars Apple's comparable Family Pack that gives you five OS X licenses for $199...

A man was to live in that egg-shell day and night, a mile from the shore.... Think of making your bed thus in the crest of a breaker! To have the waves, like a pack of hungry wolves, eying you always, night and day, and from time to time making a spring at you, almost sure to have you at last.
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

One strong wolf cannot defeat a pack of dogs; one strong arm cannot defeat many fists.
—Chinese proverb.

When I am writing a novel I must actually live the lives of my characters. If, for instance, my hero is a gambler on the French Riviera, I must make myself pack up and go to Cannes or Nice, willy-nilly, and there throw myself into the gay life of the gambling set until I really feel that I am Paul De Lacroix, or Ed Whelen, or whatever my hero’s name is. Of course this runs into money, and I am quite likely to have to change my ideas about my hero entirely and make him a bum on a tramp steamer working his way back to America, or a young college boy out of funds who lives by his wits until his friends at home send him a hundred and ten dollars.
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
