     Actually, all Mac system before 7.0 are free to Mac users.  In the old
     days,  you can bring in some disks to an Apple dealer and they will
     copy the latest OS for you.  Once they started selling the OS, all
     that have changed.  However, as someone on the list mentioned.
     Currently, you can download up to system 7.5 from the Apple web site

Up to OS 7.5 but not 7.1 last I heard.  This has always been a for 
pay version.  It has to do with the licensing arrangement for some 
added software.
