Not that I should be advocating this, but it would be sweet if someone sacrificed their copy to a document scanner for all to see. I recently used one at my school, and it's pretty sweet how some of them can scan directly to a PDF file on a USB stick that you plug into the machine itself.

As for Osgeld's comment about taking home the bacon: perhaps that's enough for you. Some of us though want more out of our jobs. And given that Mac BASIC would have been created during they heyday of creativity in the personal computer industry, I would imagine that cutting the project around the time of completion would have been heart-wrenching.
