    --- TIC-TECH message:
    The FoolProof people will only help you if you have the contract number
    when you call them up (providing that they still support that old a
    version). THey didn't want the kids calling them up.

    You can remove the FoolProof extension only if it wasn't set to lock the
    Hard Drive when booting from a different volume. Removing the FoolProof
    extension can also lock your Hard Drive so that you can't even use it. If
    you do it wrong, you can lose it all.

    The Library Mac's used System 7.5. Mac's with System 7.1 that don't have
    locked Hard Drives can be fixed by cloning a non-protected Mac to it.
    That's the quickest and easiest solution. But, it doesn't work with System
    7.5.
