    Apple Software Dispatch from 1994

    I suspect the unlock codes are generated algorithmically, using the "CD code" string as a seed. This makes sense as a piracy-detection mechanism, since anyone publishing a working CD code and unlock key pair could easily be traced back to the original transaction. How easy this would be to...

    Apple Software Dispatch from 1994

    Looking for CCSCC (Color Classic) site archive

    Hey everyone, Long-time lurker, first time poster. Not too long ago I realized that the original Club for Creating the Strongest Color Classic site (http://homepage2.nifty.com/kan-chan) disappeared from the Web. The Internet Archive doesn't have it, unfortunately. It does appear to have the...
