Well, this is how it goes. I bought the computer second hand last week. I asked the guy if he had the OS disks, he said no, he had bought it with that OS on the machine but no disks (he might be lying and wanting to keep the disk for himself, but I don't know that). So, I get a machine, already loaded with the OS, but no disk. Is this stealing? Did I intentionally copy the OS from someone else and put it on my machine? No. Should I wipe out the OS and go backwards to my 8.6 disk? (Which, by the way, came with my office G3, so it would be licensed for that machine only? And if I put it on my home G3 would it be stealing?) Ron -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
