After posting the Complete Idiot's Guide a few weeks ago, I received a big flurry of bribes in the mail the past few weeks. T-shirts, pre-paid Starbucks cards and such. Many of you wisely now used pre-paid FedEx envelopes to easily get things done.

As such, I've run out of three key Mac OS releases: Mac OS 7.5 packages with CD/floppy are now gone, as are the loose Mac OS 8.0 setup CDs, as is the one loose CD of Mac OS 9. No more!

What I have left now are about 30 unopened packages of Mac OS 8.1 (which contains a setup CD-ROM and printed manual) and a handful of loose Mac OS 8.0 boot floppies.

What I'll do for the remaining inventory now is for pre-paid Starbucks orders of $30 or more I will bundle the unopened Mac OS 8.1 CD with the loose Mac OS 8.0 boot floppy as well as a ClarisWorks 4.0 CD-ROM, a Macintosh shareware CD-ROM, and a SoftMac CD-ROM.

That's 5 CDs and a Mac boot floppy for a prepaid Starbucks card of $30 and your self-addressed stamped (or pre-paid) return shipping envelope. Get it while it lasts.
