Given Apple's tendancy to stomp on web sites that offer them for free downloads, I'd say NOT! But since the majority of models covered are officially abandonware, I'd say he's offering a valid public service. The manuals for the current models are of little use where the computers are still under warranty or where an unofficial servicer can't obtain parts anyway. The grey area is those models still supported by legit Apple dealers but out of warranty. The Big A don't like no-one poaching on their turf..... The biggest bone I'd have to pick with stuartonline is the price he's asking ......30 quid for 2 CDs! sheesh, that's highway robbery! Of course he's offering an update service for subscribers, so I suppose there's some justification. -- ------- Keep in touch....Ian O <mailto:I.Orchard@;macworx.co.nz> -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
