I think he was being sarcastic.
The original premise of this thread is that original disks do go bad. Personally, I'd like to know that the original is bad.@wirefall - of course I understand, and we're just talking about old software here; everyone can do whatever they wish! But, I'll leave you with one thought for your scenario: if all you want to do is use an original program from disk, if you've gotten an error-free copy from somewhere, why do you need to run it from and original disk? Just make a backup of the good image on a blank, and use it. Gives you the best of both worlds...
But, truly, to each his own. I just hope people will consider some of the options before rewriting originals, and, if you do, mark them as such.
Cheers, all!
