I have a question for those of you who are using more than one
type of computer, or who have recently moved from the // e,c to the
GS. Is copy-protection more prevalent for any type of machine, or does
it depend more upon the vendor? I was wandering if Apple's position 
against copy-protection had made a dent. It's really amazing when you 
look at all of the potentially nice programs that have been ruined
by copy-protection. Anyone remember Quark? 
Another question along the same lines. There is a lot of talk of
lack of compatibility between different GS rom versions. Is this due
primarily to copy-protection? If so, I don't see how Apple can be blamed
for the problems.
