I finally gave up on Deja Vu &, in a fit of pique, mangled the
diskettes (once I finally got the damn things out of the II!!)
so as to make absolutely certain they didn't get reinserted.

As a MacTyro, I was momentarily freaked to find that the system
could no longer 'see' my internal harddisk, but a few deep
breaths & a couple minutes looking through what the System
Utilities disk had on it cured that problem.

I now make salespeople promise to take software back if it
doesn't run TO SUIT ME on my machine at home (since very few
of them are fortunate enough to have a II there to play with!
8-) & I define "run to suit me" to mean I don't have to go
find the damn disks every time I want to play it.

If enough of us vote with our $$$$, this copy protection crap
will go the way of the pterodon -- just as it ought!!
