AFAIK none of the online "stores" listed on my website offer downloading
software in contravention of the Manufacturer's EULA or Copyright.
Anyone that does should be reported (and I'll be the first in line to do
so).  As for "unlocking boards", I've not needed that service (nor would
I take advantage of it unless it was one of *our* boards).  Since every
system we sell has our unique downloading code, it's fairly simple to
"unlock" a board that originated in our shop.  It's time consuming to
"play" with unlocking services, and the last locked board I encountered
simply wound up in the garbage.  I'm not "out there" trying to "swing
customers" my way.  We get a ton of referrals every year and some even
respond to the flyers we routinely send out.  Our contracts are all
three year, include an excalation clause that's never been exercised,
and I've not had one customer complaint.  We've got a clean record with
the BBB and Security Programs (BC Government Licensing Authority) and we
aim to keep it there.  Sure, we lose one or maybe two customers every
year but in 100% of the such cases, they've either moved (and the new
owners aren't interested in monitoring), or they've permanently closed
their doors.

I've seen you post this at least ten times.  I figure they'll let you
across the border as long as you've got the white flag pinned to a
hockey stick and you're wearing a Ranger's jersey.  HNY to you too.
