Yes, but please maintain your personal archive!  As far as many vendors are
concerned, Mac OS is a dead duck.  (I'm talking about the real Mac OS, not
what I call NeXT OS X. ;)  If you take a look at the Apple II, there are a
few notable archives of abandoned commercial software and they don't appear
to be having many problems -- probably because the Apple II is a dead duck.
