From what I remember from a previous thread on this subject, the
title screen WAS the proctection.  If this title screen, with the
owner's name supposedly saved on it, wasn't somewhere to be found,
the system would hang, crash, die...

As far as the program saving the system state and using it as the
protection, well it's 1 to many against it.  I'm not saying it
didn't happen to you Sean, but maybe the program you have just was a
little flaky on the A3000 system for A2500.  Check your software version,
system config, etc.  You're right, the program is protected, but
maybe in a different way.

But what do I know, I only know what I hear...
