From: Edward.Tecot@CMU-CS-H
CMU has been selling external disk drives for some time now. (~2
weeks) They cost around $350, I don't know because I am waiting for a 21
meg hard disk.

On a side note, I agree 100% with Mr. Stallman (this is actually an
incentive to produce EMacMACS, I doubt I would have to worry about trademark
infringements, etc.) I am 100% against copy-protection and I feel that it
is a shame that more commercial software was produced in the form of Borland
Turbo Pascal, inexpensive, not-copy-protected, worthwhile, useful, etc.
Products like these, even though I could copy them easily, I would much
rather purchase, simply to register my name with the company, and support
their establishment in hopes of more software of the same type will follow.
(Microsoft are you listening?). If you believe as I, send me mail
(tecot@CMU-CS-H), I would like to know if I am in the majority or minority.

Finally, playing with my Mac last night (installing hangman, what a cute
game!), I noticed that there is a reference to a StartUpScreen in the
boot-up information. Any guesses? Finally, what do Inited and Bozo mean?
