Doesn't surprise me too much since Apple got really anal about *mirroring*
licences about the same time they got anal about Mac 512.
What I can't figure, though, is why (or anyone else) would care if there
are 25 mirrors of the same stuff. Anything you need online,
applications-wise, is either at Info-Mac, AMUG, Apple FTP, or a pirate site.
There are still plenty of obscure sites out there; I for one think it's
probably a GOOD thing that Interarchy doesn't have bookmarks to them any
more because it means thousands of people aren't getting a built-in
shortcut to it, which means that Apple is less likely to find out about it
if it's something they don't want posted.
I could cite several examples, but, well, that would draw attention to them.
