ET?  Aleksander just blurbed out the partial name for our family album CD.
You know, "ETxx".

Anyway, a hardware key is a device that plugs in to your computer
(usually the parallel port).  The software will attempt to read the
hardware key when it starts up.  If the key is not located the software
doesn't start.  This is a fairly common copy-protection scheme employed
by some software applications.

As Aleksander says, most of the family album CDs that we qlisters have
were hacked by someone, so that the hardware key is not needed.
