Here is another HD install. I would like to be able to run Arkanoid II
for the IIGS off my hard drive. The "key disk" copy protection wants me
to EJECT MY HARD DRIVE and insert the original disk. The cracked copy
that I got when Asimov was allowing GS downloads doesn't like being
installed on my hard drive either. I suppose that downloading the
cracked copy labels me a thief by Nathan's standards.:) Big Red Computer
Club's crack didn't work either.
