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!!
