Hiya, O Diseased and Demented Dorktor!

 *>To BOTH Jeff's :)  For a really good prospective of the 
abandonware - (YES,
 *>there is such a word and term) - movement concerning Apple 
II software you
 *>should check the listing of those that support such 
things!

Dorktor, the point we've been trying to make about the word 
"abandonware" is NOT that it doesn't exist, but rather that 
it has absolutely NO legal merit.

The courts don't recognize it.  It therefore serves only as a 
smokescreen.

 *>A reference   list derived from the abandoneware support

site.....Ref. URL:

A fine site.  Well put together.  Packed with information.  
Publishes articles that haven't been ripped from other 
peoples sites.

I can see why you'd go there.  It will make doing your GSWV 
soooo much easier, having someone else do all the work for 
you to rip.  ;)

 *>It is rather lengthy!!!  Do check it out to get a fairly 
good view of the

who have made

And guess what.. They recognize that breaking copyright laws 
are illegal acts.

They simply want to get publishers to reclassify their works.  
They don't run pirate sites that claim to be law abiding 
until they get caught.

 *>It's a very enlightening and impressive public list of 
supporters to read

And why wouldn't folks support reclassification, Tom?  It's 
certainly more moral than simply stealing it like you do.

 *>Cheers, Tom
