Seth,
If the 3B2 manuals are in a 3-ring binder, or are in condition to be scanned
with a page feed scanner, I'll be happy to scan them and send you a copy.
Cheers,
Jim

Hello all,
The problem as I see it are all of the sheep that buy
pre-configured boxes from the likes of Dell and other such providers.
They don't get the OS disc. They only receive restore discs. Most of
these users only know how to turn on the power and operate the keyboard
and/or mouse.

I wasn't! :-) This is via Paul A, who was there.
I don't recall where they were before they got free-piled (he told me who it
was who had it, but I had no particular reason to store those bits in my
memory).
Ok the original topic.
I think what screwed the guy selling the 25 cent computer disks is that
Microsoft, according to the article ,sells $25 replacement restore disks. So
technically he is counterfeiting a current Microsoft product, the physical

It is.
He ended up serving 15 months in prison for making rescue disks that were
based on downloadable software that required licence keys that the PCs that
he refurbished already had.
