actually, i know the feeling-- back when i ran a BBS (i ran the GS
Connection BBS for a friend of mine for a couple years), we had a
bunch of Mac stuff.  do you think i knew what they were?  hardly.  did
i CARE?  nope.  when the board was discombobulated in 1996, what do
you suppose HAPPENED to all that stuff?  (i'll tell ya: it's toast.)
was any of it pirated?  i HOPE not, but i had no way to find out, so i
had to take the word of the people (well....  PERSON.  only one user
that i knew of in the local area had a Mac, but...  that's another
story) that sent it up.

Before you start ASSuming the intentions/attitudes of others, be
CERTAIN before you make your opinion(s) known.  how's that go? "it's
better to be silent and thought a fool, than to speak and remove all
doubt."......  <g>  been there, done that.  ;)
