Don't worry about it, it isn't you.  My original post and Toby R.'s
followup are still valid answers to your question and I hope that
you will continue to ask GS questions here in csa2.  This really
is a friendly newsgroup most of the time, but Nate is very sensitive
about what's right and what's wrong.  Apparently, as you no doubt
found out, you have to be a member to get System 6.0.1 from SSII.
I didn't know this and he's on my case for that.  Just follow
Toby's directions and try to download System 6.0.1 off the web.
Or actually, if you want them on 3.5 disk, Alltech Electronics seems
to carry the six disk set (see http://www.allelec.com/).

Nate has done this before, not only to me, but to others.  Don't
let that scare you away from this newsgroup.  Good luck in using
the GS in your classroom and if you have any further questions,
please feel free to ask (just ignore the flame wars, they will
pass).  :)
