in an article..... I'm soory i know not which... a reply states that since
Apple gives no rights to archival copies than it's not legal.
to this I say BULLL capital B. it does not matter whether Apple gives the time
of day! it is federal LAW that says a person is allowed ONE archival copy
of SOFTWARE! it doesn't matter what package it comes in. whether it be disk,
 tape, Book, film, hearsay, or uttered breath. (I'm rambling) The point is
SOFTWARE! not Container or packaging! if it is software than the buyer can
protect himself from a volatile (unvolatile) media! at least that is the intent
of the LAW! If I'm wrong, then I'm sure I'll hear about it! but I felt I had to
say something! HUMMPPHH! :-)
Sorry if i was Obtrusive! but even Murph gets that way sometimes:-)
please don't flame me! it's my mothers fault anyway!
thanks! (In advance, In retrospect, And otherwise for listening!)
