  • [quote]Originally posted by torifile: But why is it piracy? Because the law says so. Copyright law is complex; it's not a one paragraph deal. However, the basic idea is that, when somebody creates a "work" they hold the sole right to copy the wo…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Spart: You should be okay so long as you don't loan the CD's or disk images out. Or install them on more than one of your own Macs. Remeber that the original poster asked whether it's piracy, not whether it's "OK" or…

  • More information about what you're looking for would be good. You didn't mention price or size (except to say you saw an 80GB). Do you have to buy your new drive from Best Buy? Are you comfortable with mail order? You're going to get your most ch…
  • [quote]Originally posted by torifile: I mean the only indication that this computer isn't new is the fact that my hard drive is exactly as I left it (pirated build of Jag and all ) They probably figured, "What the hell? Might as well fix it …
  • I got my iBook last Friday ( ) and its Airport card yesterday. Then I had to wait 24 hours for the base station to arrive today. This is soooo awesome. [ 07-30-2002: Message edited by: spotbug ]

  • Ok, well, I started this thread with the question, so I'll explain what I did... Yesterday I drove up to the Apple Store in Buffalo. Before I made my purchase, I wanted to touch all of my options. The iBook still won, but that's another thread, r…
