Lines: 28 I bought Dragon's Lair today ($46 at Creative Computers, Lawndale, CA). ... got it home, shoved in disk 1, rebooted, and it sat at the "visionary technologies" opening screen with df0:'s light on forever. Rebooted.. same thing. Powered off, powered on, kickstarted, shoved in disk 1 again... same thing. Back it goes on Monday for an exchange but FIRST I'm gonna try to boot this bum copy on one of the dealer's machines. If it works, I'll try one more new copy and if that doesn't work, it's refund time. This is the FIRST piece of copy-protected brand new right out of the box software that I've EVER had trouble with on my 3-year old A1000. Happily, my dealer is huge, has a mountain of copies and is only 5 miles down the road... but I really feel for folks who buy all their stuff mailorder (due to no dealers in their locale) ------ By the way, I also bought one of Dale's "Boing" mice (optical) today too. Works great. But there was not one shread of paperwork in the box. No manual (it doesn't really need one but....), no registration card, no warranty card, nothing.
