They probably miss-understood the question... OR, the person on the phone didn't know what they were talking about. I'm positive that Apple has ALWAYS allowed (and even encouraged?) dealers to COPY (not give away) disks to customers, provided they have proof of they're originals. This means, you must supply the blank disks for the copies. The person on the phone probably thought that your secretary thought they'd give the disks away or something crazy like that. > David Munier > >btw, i did find one dealer that would provide the update *if i would pay $40* DON'T PAY A CENT FOR IT! Well, if they ask for a penny, I'd pay it. :) If you want the manuals and the pretty disk labels, then you need to pay $$ ---------------------------------------- BITNET-- mquinn@utcvm <------------send files here pro-line-- mquinn@pro-gsplus.cts.com
