I just wanted to add that Quark puts the same stupid stickers on the XPress
master disk.  I, too, was foolish enough to stick such a disk into my
Mac II, and damaged the internal drive.  (Fortunately I was able to unbend 
the bent part).

ATTENTION ANY PUBLISHERS ON THE NET:

Stop putting those silly things on the disks!  Do you think they are going
to stop anybody from missusing your software?

Oh well, just a caveat for the rest of you.
