Yes, I've double checked.  As for ripping off, the software is in a
cartridge, not on a disk, so how am I going to copy it?  The plastic boxes
of software were not wrapped in clear plastic, so it would have been
an easy matter for a browser to open the box and take the documentation.
I wish I had opened the box before buying it.

I still have no responses giving Thorn EMI's address.
