As for ripping off, the software is in a cartridge, not on a disk, so how am I going to copy it? The plastic boxes of software were not wrapped in clear plastic, so it would have been an easy matter for a browser to open the box and take the documentation. I wish I had opened the box before buying it. I still have no responses giving Thorn EMI's address. David Smith {ucbvax!}hplabs!dsmith
