The people selling the program are selling an illegal program possibly though. One major distinction for fair use in copyright is how it harms the commercial interests of the copyright holder. That is why making a copy for personal use is not a felony, making a large number and distributing them in any fashion is. This is my understanding also. I have a couple of copyrights I have to enforce and so I pay attention to this matter. It is not always the understanding of the goons that enforce the copyright laws for some corporations, however. Some of them think that anyone making a copy of anything is illegal. Mostly it's just them trying to justify their existence. I had a DVD that would not always play right. With a lot of effort, I was able to make a good copy of it. I kept both the original and copy. I mentioned this to someone on an open forum and next thing I knew I had the private pigs from the corporation that produced the disk giving me a bad time. The frustrating part is that the content was not very good. I wish they would have put all that effort into making a better product instead of persecuting people. My conclusion is that you can make all the copies you want for your own personal use. Just don't give any away or tell anyone you did so. Peter -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Hi! (and Pismo DVD-ROM issue)
Hi all. I just joined. I recently came into posession of a broken G3 Powerbook Pismo. It seemed relatively complete (no hard drive, no keyboard, no psu, but cpu, ram, dvd-rom, battery). I borrowed a 3400 from work, and tried out the pismo with it, but nothing. I completely disassembled it, down to the power connector, to find that it had sheared from the board: http://www.umlautllama.com/gallery/pismo/IMG_0562 so I desoldered, straightned, and reconnected it: http://www.umlautllama.com/gallery/pismo/IMG_0566 I plugged it all back together, along with a 20gig spare drive I had, and it gave me the ? Folder. YAY! I just got done installing OS 9 on a 1 gig partition, and OS 10.2 on the remaining partition. It all works really well. (I do still need a shield for the ram/cpu area, keyboard, and power supply) I just finally found my 10.4 DVD-R, and was about to install that over 10.2, to find out that for some reason, the DVD-ROM drive (the stock apple one) doesn't seem to read DVD-R discs... or at least, it doesn't read DVD-R discs that I've burnt.

further Lombard HD question
Okay, We've established that all HD's are dodgy in terms of quality. Now back to the tech end of things. I read in LEM that the HD for a Lombard must be ATA-5. Does that preclude the use of an ATA-6 drive or is that protocol backwards compatible. I'd prefer to hear from folks that have replaced drives rather than speculative musings. Thanks!
