Textpad is booby-trapped? (RUMOR)

[Dugan Chen]

How very interesting. The booby-trapped shareware list (http://LGbts.cjb.net/) has this to say about Textpad:

v4.1.04, some info from an ORION release...
"the author got very tricky and added a hidden check that
slows it down by like 1-2 seconds via the sleep command in a
loop, almost unnoticeable to the new user. But for all you
habitual textpad users, it was quite noticeable and annoying."

It is also noted to use an up to date crack/serial# on this
as it might 'appear' to register with old info but the 'slow
down' will still take place.

Is this true? Because if it is, it makes me doubly glad to be
a legit registered user of what is imho the world's best text
editor. Textpad rules.

Yes this is true. Buy a license though - dont bother cracking it!

At this price it's not worth the fuss and considering it's about the best bit of software I use it's paid for itself a hundred times over by now!!
