a month or so ago i posted a note saying how the local mac dealer in the
State College, PA area was not giving out the startup disks for free (they
were selling a $50 dollar package of disks w/ manuals) ... i talked with
the manager of the store, and he said that apple told him that they were no
longer allowed to give away system software as of 6.0.3 ... a person or
two from apple (before validating what the manager said) and i was told that
apple still gives out free upgrades if you bring the master disks (but it
was the dealers option to allow it) ... since then i have lost the email
addresses of the apple employees that responded, and i was able to obtain
6.0.4, but what i am wondering is, should someone fill these people in?
the dealer i went to was "General Computer Center" in State College, PA.
i can give out the phone number if anyone (one of the kind apple employees)
wishes to call and ask what's up.
