What I find annoying is that ROMs that fix bugs in the operating system
that was promised years ago is costing me $100.  Surely Atari could
afford to foster some loyalty by offering a "nominal" trade in price
for ROMs.  The mac os is essentially free (you can buy an official disk
for $45) and I wonder how the copywrite would affect TOS.  Are updates
to TOS separately copywrited?  If I own a copy of TOS 1.0, am I legally
entitled to make an updated copy to 1.4?
