Rush Limbaugh said this morning that System 7.0 has been released. When will it be in the stores? Where are all the balloons and party streamers? Concerned, Brad

Yes, 7.0 is released. In fact, I just got a copy from the dealer today. (May 13th). -- Wilson MacGyver | True love strikes again, huh?

Rumor has it that they do, but are holding back for some reason. Also rumored is that neither will *ever* allow copies to be made due to the massive size of the files as well as the loss of revenue...

Some dealers have sets to sell and/or copy, and others don't. Also, just to clear up the issue that arises every time we release a new system, you _are_ allowed to copy System 7.0 from any distributor that is licensed to do so. This includes dealers. Dealers are _allowed_ but _not required_ to let you copy 7.0. That decision is up to the dealer. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keith Rollin --- Apple Computer, Inc.

Friday night was definitely big fun. Where does one go to rent a Buddha,
anyway...?
