Arrgh!  Why is it that anyone who makes a backup (or even more than one) is 
labeled a pirate?  I make backups (and backups of my backups) quite often 
since I learned that disk read/write errors and viruses are a fact of life!!
Sorry to get up on my soapbox here, but I`ve seen several references in 
amiga-relay where people are accused of pirating just because they want a 
backup of their software and I, for one, am tired of `em.
