Steve,

   You must understand that Apple has copyrights on its ROMs.  ReadySoft
cannot legally copy Apple's ROMs onto disk - you must buy them from Apple,
or from someone who has bought them from Apple.  The pirates obviously
didn't care about this, so they could do it.  Don't blame ReadySoft for
the situation though.

PS: We are both named Steve and like Rush.  Kinda scary, ain't it?
