At least, it is free in the U.S.   Apple Canada is charging $120 for it.

And No, that is *not* just if you want the manuals.  You *cannot* copy
the disks for free.  I had a long argument with serveral authorized
Apple dealers about this.

Why they are doing this is beyond me, but I would gladly pay the money
if I got to rip out an Apple Canada exec's lungs in the deal.
