and just why not. *you* own both machines. there should be absolutely
nothing prohibiting you from using either any way you want. now, i think
what matt and andy are saying is that you cannot sell the ROM's you have.

just think about it. you buy x from company 1 and y from company 2. does
it make any sense that the law prohibits you from hacking x to look like y,
just so long as *only you* use this hack (feel free to say how you did it).

don't you remember the commerical, "hack all you want, we'll make more." :)
