I will apologise publicly for implying you were a thief (which you
evidently and convincingly deny).

However, in all fairness, your original post did lead me (and others)
to question the legality of the request:

"If anyone out there has OSX I could sure use it. I can't afford to go
buy it right now, but I will try to return the favor some how."

`I can't afford to go buy it right now' and `Return the favor some
how' would suggest that you were not exactly worried about the
niceties of licences, but, your response has suggested otherwise (at
the risk of drawing Dennis the Candlemaker (sorry, couldn't resist the
translation... it's a great name) into this, you may also want to read
his response to your initial request (it was a lot harsher than my
comment ;-)).

Anyway, bury the hatchet and all that jazz.

PS These Apple type queries belong, at best on the "sounder" list,
and, at worst not at all on any of these lists.

Eric.
