I'm sitting here wondering how good the copy protection could be when you
install it from the write-protected distribution diskette...

I know I installed it on my A1000 before I bought my A2500.  I then installed
it on the A2500.  No problems.  Notice that I didn't try to move it from
the A1000 after installation, but did a new installation.  No way that
I can see to protect against that.

(note to detail sticklers: I have long since removed it from my A1000)

I did notice that the 1.1 Release no longer has my name branded into the
opening screen like it did in 1.0. (or was that 0.9 ?)
