What?  Your criminal empire is splitting up?  News to me!

"it's presents"?  You think of these as gifts or something?  
Or "it's
presence", like that giant zit on your neck...  Oh.  Sorry, 
that's your
head.

 *> people call Asimov a pirate site and some people call 
Asimov a legal site.

Yep.  Idiots call it a legal site, folks who know copyright 
law call it a
pirate site.

 *> I remain totally neutral on what I label the Asimov site

Neutral... Yep.  You're brain has be locked in neutral since 
birth.

those that use Apple

Useful has nothing to do with legality, fool.  It might be 
useful to bury
you in a ton of organic fertilizer, but it would hardly be 
legal.
Something about adulterating the fertilizer with a noxious 
material.

 *> Another fact people should be made aware of also is that 
the appleWorks
 *> v5.1 update archive which is legally available on 
virtually every Apple II
 *> ftp and web site or online service on the Internet - is 
100% legal with

lacks that would
 *> make it a fully functional version of AppleWorks v5.1 for 
the Apple II
 *> computer model is ProDOS 8 and one missing SEG file 
(which I won't mention
 *> here).

So they are worthless to all but legal owners of AW 5.1?  I 
think that was
the point, moron.

 *> That missing SEG file could also be archive as a seperate 
file in a

site and/or web

without any legal action
 *> being taken or demand ordered for its removal from Apple 
Computer.

What a Red Herring, Dorktor...  Equating parts of some 
software with the
entire package?  Duh.

 *> Those are the facts as I see them.  Those are my thoughts

You missed one fact.  You Suck.

the end of time for

change either.

Set in concrete?  Hey!  Concrete!  I need to add THAT to my 
KFest packing
list... Any lakes near KS?

 *> If and when Bev should decide to allow me to make 
AppleWorks v5.1 in a full

Tarnover site, I
 *> certainly would make it available as such  - promptly.   
As long as Bev

services in all

So... You'd put it up even without the copyright owners 
permission, but you
won't because someone who DOESN'T own it might get mad?

You are a pimple in the butt crack of humanity, Tom.

You certainly aren't afraid of driving actual A2 developers 
away... Why is
Bev so special?

 *> Cheers, Tom
