	I can agree with Keith to a point. The disc should come with the system if they exist. But then again, of what value are they anyway? The original discs are for OS 9, which is pretty useless. Kind of like having Jaguar or Panther install discs. Today what matters is running Tiger as I believe that's the best that can be hoped for, which is a purchased OS. So along with the purchase of the hardware there is a need to purchase the OS. 

I'm not sure why living in Brazil makes the situation different?
