Yup, that's true. I bought MacBootDisk.com for this exact reason, to help people find a boot disk for their Mac quickly and easily. I actually have no connection with http://rescuemyclassicmac.com – which if you looked you would have realized is what MacBootDisk redirects to. Kevin Rye (rescue's owner) made it clear over at 68Kmla that he did not intend to offer this service forever, so I post the more specific URL as a common pointer to the service which I intend to continue one way or another once Kevin stops. I receive NOTHING from him to promote the site. While platnicat offered to make free disks of System 6.0.4, it does not cover all operating systems or every users needs. So as long as people are randomly posting about boot disk services, I threw more information into the mix. Also, I don't know platnicat. Is he really going to send it to you free? Will he charge for shipping? What is the quality of the media? How fast can you expect to receive it? How responsive will platnicat be in getting you that disk? Can he provide any other Systems? How long will platnicat be able to fulfill this offer?
So I happen to think Kevin offers an invaluable service and I want to help promote it. If you think it's in bad taste, then so be it, consider me tasteless, because every time I have the opportunity I will post the information. Either way the next time perhaps you'll do a little more research before you start throwing stones, or at a minimum take a look at my contributions to this forum and realize I merely want to assist and am not some cheap spammer trying to make a quick buck off of selling vintage floppy disks at $10/copy. Wow, I'll get rich!
