In fact, I just wrote to Zach about SAA. I am only going to be there
the full day on the 13th, plus some of the evening of the 12th. But
what about meeting the afternoon of the 13th, after the game
preservation session? Maybe the group will head out for lunch
together, not sure. Or we could meet for coffee in the later afternoon.<br>

I've just noticed your email address is UT Austin, which makes me think
-- should we try to arrange a SIG get together at SAA? Anyone else
going? Time is tight for me, but I could probably swing lunch one day.

<blockquote type="cite">This doesn't have much to do with DRM
mechanisms, but it's an interesting little footnote to EA's history of
copy protection....maybe call it the pre-web attitude to copying. It's
a snippet from the Command Summary document found in "Robot Rascals"
(published by EA in 1987):
<br>
<br>
"For your convenience, "Robot Rascals" is not copy protected so that
you can easily make one backup copy for your own use, or install the
program on your own RAM or hard disk. Please show us that copy
protection is unnecessary -- do not give copies of this product away.
Thank you." [emphasis in the original doc]

Very polite :)
