Whatever you do, be sure not to activate it. I installed Girlfr~4 in 1997
(the days before I discovered the Mac) and activated it in 2000.
Activation acknowledged to the world that I was the rightful owner, but
does unfortunately come with an onerous license agreement: uninstalling it
removed half of everything I owned, something I discovered in 2004.
Furthermore, it often failed to respond to commands, contained bugs that
even Microso~1 would be ashamed of, and was not compatible with Girlfr~5,
6, or 7 (surely I can't be expected to make do with just one package?!)

Don't do it, activation ruins everything!

I test drove a copy of "Yasmine", but found it far too resource hungry
for my setup.

Hope you did a virus scan first.

And, according to something I saw last week, the burn count is stored in
the iTunes XML file which can, if you so desire, be trashed.
