[cherish this line - it had to fight to get to you]

        I can't resist passing on this short quote I found in the 4/84
BYTE User to User column. It quotes an ad for a piece of copy-protected
software: "Execution of O**ix without an original distribution disk in
drive A or B may damage your computer."
        I wonder how many people will use software which (claims it)
can damage their computers?!?
