     To whoever it was who wanted
the rom:

     Check local swap meets, salvation army, etc, CC2 machines are
going for $2-$10.  If you can't locate one after a couple of weeks,
I can sell you a CC2 CPU, so leave me mail.

     What the people are trying to say about software piracy is a)
it's iillegal and carries a large fine so b) you're putting yourself
in a precarious position by posting an international message
requesting it, and c) you're causing the ones who run the lists some
grief also by putting them in an awkward spot, opposing piracy while
at the same time unknowingly sending out mail requesting it.

     Again, since the CC2 CPUs are so cheap right now, just ask
around locally. $10 really isn't that bad to avoid several tens of
thousands of dollars in  fines!
