I've read about the Copy II deluxe option board from Central Point Software
recently. This seems like a useful animal for one of the many small labs
we have around here. However the tech in charge claims that as of last
week, these boards cannot be supplied outside of the US. I don't know
the source of his information.
Can anyone enlighten me about this? eg. US govt paranoia or NZ dollar not
worth paper its printed on? - Thanks

I've done some checking here, and the story is that the local Central Point
agents have stated that they cannot get any more Copy II boards, because
*other firms* (presumably software) have prevented CP from supplying them
outside the US. The claim is that *pirates* are doing all sorts of nasty
things with them 8-{, and a court case is pending?
One respondent suggested that we try MacConnection and get one tomorrow, the
tech is going to do just that!
PS If all lawyers were shot, would American society fall apart - like the
proverbial termites holding hands in the woodwork?
