Yes. Just tell Apple your serial number, your name, and the previous owner's name along with his/her written consent regarding the transfer of ownership.

Because it is. Shame on you for posting it.
It's the infamous pyramid scam, in which only the first few people who
participate have any hope of receiving any amount of money.
It also happens to be fabulously illegal. They put people in jail for
mail fraud, you know...

Please, people, enough already! It's getting impossible to read this news group. What in the Sam Hill has this garbage got to do with the Mac, or anything else except a swift trip to the pen? Could all you chain letter enthusiasts, Mac/Messy DOS monomaniacs, Amiga freaks, and other assorted jerks take this stuff over to rec.dev.null where it belongs? This is a newsgroup dedicated to Macintosh issues. It serves a community of Mac users who have real, concrete RELEVANT questions for which they might just like to get some answers. The signal to noise ratio has gotten so low that most of the real questions have been driven off -- a sort of Gresham's Law of information. There are plenty of other newsgroups where you can ventilate your useless opinions to your heart's content: try talk.bizarre or alt.s**theads.
