I think I said it depends on who is watching, as far as making a copy of your
roms.  Who is going to be watching? Not one person, unless your under invest-
igation from the cia.  I use to clear out all the garbage in the old II+
roms, with my own stuff.  But today, the roms are too big, unless you have
mucho bucks to spend on a nice eprom burner.  So who wants a back-up of
the new roms now anyway?  I dont think I am going to spend a grand just so
I can make sure I can make a backup of my rom.  Of course, I agree that anyone
can make a backup of the rom.  I guess just put it on disk so you can
waste disk space.

Talking about roms...an apple dealer just came in and upgraded two of our
older IIGS roms for free.  That was nice, but he didnt have system 5, so
I told him to come back when he had it.
