Kelli, I'm afraid you have made an unwarranted assumption. I wasn't upset with
the fellow, or dressing him down. I have nothing to calm down from. I did miss
his statement about having the original disks, however, I wasn't assuming that
he was asking us for software, since he didn't do that. Perhaps I was thinking
about the fact that I have several Macs myself where I DON'T have the original
disks, and if I lose the hard drives or need to reformat them, I'll be trying to
find a Performa or Powerbook CD somewhere myself.

Thanks

Roy
