Thanks for the compliment.

And, as it turns out concerning Apple System Software, I agree with you
100%. In fact, I wish folks would stop telling others that System Software
is available from SSII. Why? My legal license with Apple specifically
prohibits me from distributing Apple System Software to anyone who is not a
subscriber to Shareware Solutions II.

Apparently, not all Apple licenses are created equal.

Scantron Quality Computers and The Byte Works do have licenses with Apple
that allow them to make Apple System Software available to anyone. But,
Shareware Solutions II does not.

So, if someone can't download Apple System Software from the Internet, or 
from Genie, CompuServe or Delphi, their best bet is to contact their 
local user group. If there is no local user group, then SQC or Byte Works 
is _the_ source for Apple system software.
