Al, John, Charles, Jim et al Thanks for your advice, I will get two copies of Panther, since my relies will have a copy of the Mac OS X CD's to recover/reinstall panther if ever they need to. Thanks again guys.

It is best to read the license terms for the family pack. It is good for up to five non-business Macs in one home. That excludes use for profit and it excludes populating Macs in separate houses. Using the family pack raises another problem. With one set of original media, when you dispose of one of the Macs that you sell or give away, you would have to remove the version of the OS that belongs to the pack. I think you are better off getting a separate copy of Panther for the other family member out of state. Then that member's machine has its own CDs for troubleshooting and restoring. -- Al Poulin Anger, hate, and revenge are for the devil, forgiveness is for God, proactive self-defense is for the rest of us. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
