Certainly, but just don't throw out or damage the box and manual.  There are
people (myself included) who collect these types of things.  As there is a ton
of software available on the Internet for the A2, it is boxed software with
manuals that I buy on eBay for collecting.  Personally I don't care if it is
opened or shrinkwrapped because I'm going to open it when I get it.  Others
prefer it be shrinkwrapped.

I guess what I am saying is put it up on eBay or sell it to me! :)

Doug
