Tom...
What the buyer is calling an 'evaluation copy' is just their way of
protecting themselves for leaving an OS on the hard drive. Of course

You ought to have the OS 8.x CD.
For more information on OS 9.x on your computer, go to

On January 24th,
Apple Computer will introduce
Macintosh.
And you'll see why 1984
won't be like "1984."
