EA believe or not does probably still have some around someplace, but good
luck finding someone there that knows that anymore.  (Trivia:  they have
gold 5 1/4" floppies of most of their Apple II stuff hanging in the hallways
at their San Mateo HQ.  Cool stuff.  Wonder if they'd boot ;)

So did you steal other things when you were 13 also, seeing how as having no
money is suddenly an excuse for theft?  Did you just march into the record
store and start grabbing things and say "It's ok, I have no money"?  If you're
going to steal software, at least have the 'nads to do it at a software
store, eh?

Wonder what else he's stolen...
