Looking for IBM 1401 software

    I'm not saying anything either way, just making a little point: you might be breaking the law -- piracy laws and shit. I remember a few years back, on the Apple Network Server mailing list, someone asked for if anyone had a copy of A/UX -- the argument being that it could not be purchased from apple any longer. The list admin posted a pissed off comment saying that this was completely off base and illegal and would not be permitted.

    I thought his comments were stupid at the time, but the law will bend you over on this one. I wish I could find the post, but Apple took all posts older than two years offline. Chuq Von Rospach was the list admin at the time. This is just a little tidbit to be aware of.
