If it's ME you're talking to, (and I happen to be a woman), what I am doing
is not pirating in any sense.  Plenty of people like myself have managed to
get Apple //c's and the like in thrift stores and otherwise non-computer
places.  You *cannot* buy the original disks that came bundled with an
Apple //c from Apple Computer anymore.  If you could, I would not be
offering to do this for others.  I offer to copy the disks for folks for a
fee of $5.00 if they send me a disk mailer that will hold 4-5 disks and
postage to cover mailing the disks back to them.  I do not even charge for
the floppy disks!

So in answer to your question, sorry, but as far as I am concerned, I am
NOT guilty of "illegally pirating" the original //c system disks.
