It probably is one of the most broken laws but don't connect eBay with legality. eBay lets lots of things go on that are not legal. Macs can have an OS without the CD's but it should be the original OS that came with the Mac. And........ somebody somewhere probably has the original CD's too which should go with that Mac. There are not that many lost or destroyed install CD's. School and corporate sales regularly sell computers with the hard drives wiped clean and no install CD's which is why some have no OS installed. Technically I could buy one and install an OS from one of my CD's and if it is what came on the Mac I am not violating my single user license on my install CD because the Mac had a license when sold for that OS. But if I install Tiger on more than one Mac in my home with a single user license I am violating the user agreement. I do it, and a lot of people do it but it is still violates the user agreement. -- Ron http://krowmagnum.4mg.com/ -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
