I have a legal question here.  Say you purchase a new Model 4, and have
200 in your plant (this is hypothetical).  Of which you purchased newdos
80 for and are running production information on that Operating system.

You want to add one more machine, but can't find the O/S.  Since Aparrat
will no longer support/work with anyone on the old TRS/80's, but will
only work with MS-DOS stuff, do they therefore forfeit the right to keep
you from using it on more machines than purchased for?   Just a question
as I used to run a 4, but no longer use it.
