   Bingo. I mentioned where to get a full set of System 6.0.1 disks
*for free*, *legally*, and over the net. Some people just get all
hussied up when I force them to realize that their emulator isn't
perfect, and they'll have to use a braincell to convert disks because
the emulator authors didn't.

   Forcing people to use their brain separates the wheat from the
chaff real fast. Err, I should say those who'd just rather pirate
everything for notsalgia and move on to the next fad when the next big
PC game comes out, and those who really think a GS is good stuff
worthy of your time and respect.
