- There's no need for cold water on the parade. As a possible unrewarded
- programmer, I would be happy to donate a few classes in the hopes that others
- would respond in kind. Altruism among programmers and computer people may be
- rare, but one can hardly say that CompuServe, BitNet, Internet, and the other
- services are roaring failures. Their libraries are stuffed with example code
- and donated programs.
-
- A Macapp-oriented shareware library seems to be a very good idea. Without
- prognosticating on its future, I say let's get on with the idea. Also, I would
- recommend not judging its success or failure for many months; I would not be
- surprised if these ventures take time to grab hold and develop.
