I did not read Henry's comments as trash talking either, but rather his take on the differences between what's transpired, what's transpiring and what's just over the horizon. Additionally, I tend to agree with henry that the current efforts may be better than nothing, and I applaud any and all efforts to preserve our computing history, but it is not true preservation of the original material, which I believe we should be striving for whenever possible (and it will shortly be possible...yay!!) I'm just as happy with the current state of preservation of all of the cracked versions of Apple II software that's already out there (disk images already in existence). Putting aside the piracy issue, (it is all past tense in this instance) the cracker groups, crack screens and programming skills involved in those cracked titles is also part of the history. I'm excited that the software will be preserved in both its original and cracked versions. At least to the best of everyone's abilities. To add another layer (software without copy protection but not "cracked") will, in my opinion only, be unnecessary once we have pristine copies with that protection intact along with the originally cracked versions. But that's just my opinion. Tony
