If i am a legal owner of a copy of Microsoft's Flight Simulator program, is it legal for me to patch the program to allow it to run off my Hard Drive and defeat the copy protection? Is it legal for me to post these patches to the net? If you own Flight Simulator, read the License agreement on the back of the manual and tell me what you think! Peter Espen (espen@well)

Someone I know has a working, used, stock 512K Mac Motherboard. Could some of you give me an idea what such a board is worth. I might want to buy it. THANKS! Peter Espen (espen@well)

Apple's credit price on these boards - those that are sent back by dealers
and such from installed upgrades etc. - is $223.00. Its reasonable to assume
that as a fair value as any dealer can get that much for them.

Until someone interprets the law as saying "a computer program is the same as a book", what you can do to a book has nothing to do with what you can do to software. -- member, all HASA divisions POELOD ECBOMB -------------- ^-- Secret Satanic Message Tim Smith USENET: sdcrdcf!ism780c!tim Compuserve: 72257,3706 Delphi or GEnie: mnementh
