Hmmmm... <ponder> I don't mean to imply bad things, but I would assume that, in reference to each set of $2500 worth of software mentioned with each of your Macintoshes, there is included full, original documentation, registration information, etc. To be horribly blunt, you aren't selling 3 copies of one $2500 set of software, are you? -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Jim Gaynor - The Ohio State Univ. - IRCC - Facilities Mgmt. - OCES <whew!> | | Email [gaynor@hpuxa.ircc.ohio-state.edu], [gaynor@agvax2.ag.ohio-state.edu] | |_ "Don't tell me truth hurts, little girl; because it hurts like hell..." _|

I don't follow that logic at all. To me, it would be like saying that it's okay for me to email you a copy of Microsoft Word 3.x, or even 4.00, because they've come out with 4.00c since then. I don't see the connection between age and loss of copyright. If it were a matter of sending newer versions to someone who had already bought and paid for older versions of the software, then it could be argued at least to some extent that it was all right to do it. But to send commercial, copyrighted software, however old, to multiple people, or to send it to a single person while keeping a copy (even of a different version) for yourself, is just plain illegal and just plain wrong. Making it part of the terms of a sale makes it even more so. -- Internet: phaedrus@u.washington.edu (University of Washington, Seattle) The views expressed here are not those of this station or its management.

I have a Mac PLus that I would like to sell. The system is about 2 years old and is in perfect condition. How is that possible, I took very good care of it and it is my home computer. Here is a full description of the system: - Mac plus (1 Meg of RAM.) - 45MByte external Jasmine drive - Carying bag for the system (used exactly two times.) I have all the manuals, boxes, and even the plastic bags that they came in. The system have never been to the dealer, and it has never given me any problems. I think that for a system like this a price of $1050 would be fair. If you are interested please e-mail me at the address given below. Even if you think that the price is too high, e-mail me and make an offer. Sincerely yours, Bassel Soudan soudan@iitmax.iit.edu
