RE: System Disk 5.0 & Upgrades

While Apple allows (and even encourages) dealers to allow customers to
make copies of System Disk 5.0, it DOES NOT (because it cannot, legally)
require the dealers to make copies.  In fact, after contacting 15 dealers
in the New York City/Long Island area, I only found 2 that would let me
make copies.  I will remember and patronize those who are helpful.

(On the other hand several dealers believed they were not allowed to make
free copies and even Apple's own customer relations people have given out
wrong information on this policy).

If your dealers won't let you copy it, Genie, Applelink  PE or Compuserve
have the disks available for downloading -- not free (about $10-15 for
connect time, but cheaper than $49 for the packaged kit.
