Thinkin Things Collection 2 (Is it legal?)

I have this CD-ROM of Thinkin Things Collection 2 for a long time since I was little.
Would it be legal for me to distribute it here?

Let's see...

Riverdeep (the current owner) apparently is selling a new version that is Carbonized (OS 8.6 to early Mac OS X) but the version you and me have is the version compatible with 68k computers (no longer available), published by Edmark in the mid-1990s.

Tough call.

For what it's worth, I probably have the rest of the Thinkin Things Collection games.

I tried putting up a download link for it.
But how do I do that?
I have no idea how it works.

First make it a .sit.toast image and upload it here - megaupload.com

Eg. thankinthings.sit.toast

Cheers.

Couldn't I use .dmg or .zip or something like that?

You could use .zip but neither of them are very necessary here. .sit would be the best option. Use stuffit expander, its free.

.dmg is capable for Mac OS X only stuff. For Mac OS 9 (and older) stuff, please use its native disk image format, which is Disk Copy .img format (or, if you preparing a CD-ROM, use one of the CD image formats - .iso, .toast,...) .

CD images (only) could be zipped, if no Stuffit is available for you, but using Stuffit will result in smaller files rather than zipping them.

I got it onto a .zip file.
But my real problem is, how do I put the file onto the website.
I go to the 'add game' page, but I can't quite get it figured out.
Tell me what to do.

It's easier if you upload to a third-party storage site instead. I use MediaFire because it isn't the craptastic asshat that MegaUpload is. Man I hate that site. I wish the others would stop using it. Anything but MegaUpload.

I'm with you guys on Rapidshare and Megaupload.
There's also Badongo which is certainly fail.

I'll get the file on Mediafire now.
Check Thinkin' Things Collection 2 here on this website.
I should have the download link there by now.

If it wasn't for the 200MB filesize limit on MediaFire, I'd use it.

Check it out.

Oh, and quick note.
I have a few files saved into it.
You may trash them if you wish.
