This makes me think of the "Lies Computer Dealers Tell" article in the
December issue of Amiga Resource, where one is 'quoted' as saying, "If you
purchase a set of Mac ROMS from an unauthorized source and use them with a
simulator on your Amiga, the FBI can confiscate your system."

Sounds to me like Apple may be the 'Unauthorized Source' in question, and
that it may be illegal to use the Mac ROM's on Mac's, too. :) :) :)
