Software licenses can include terms of confidentiality, ownership of modifications made to the software and limitations on use, some of which can be "very nasty hookers," Law said.

When working with ResEdit, one should always make a backup copy. This is sometimes difficult with copy-protected software--like Microsoft Word. However, utility programs such as CopyIIMac and HardDiskUtil make this possible...
...computer systems, many of them 20 years old, are also burning out.

A control center in Albuquerque was knocked out for 40 minutes on Nov. 6. The busy Washington center lost all its radar and computers for 20 minutes on Nov. 29. When this happens, pilots have no choice but to fall back on "see and avoid" flying practices. But that is sometimes difficult...
