Welcome to the "Best of BMUG" sampler! This sampler contains nearly 50MB of the very best shareware, freeware, and fonts available, compiled by the legendary Berkeley Macintosh User Group. This sampler is based on the "Best of BMUG" collection included on the full "Macworld Power User Clinic" CD—the CD that's included with my 1200-page "Macworld New Complete Mac Handbook," 4th edition, published by IDG Books Worldwide.
The full "Macworld Power User Clinic" CD-ROM includes over 100MB of shareware and freeware—more than twice what you'll find here. You'll find more software in every single category, including:
• more valuable utilities
• more great games
• more amazing graphics programs
• more screen saver modules
• more education software
• another fifty fabulous fonts
My award-winning "Macworld New Complete Mac Handbook," 4th edition, is available wherever computer books are sold. Or call 800/762-2974 to order by mail.
I hope you enjoy this sampler!

About These Files
BMUG has done its best to screen the files on this CD-ROM to be System 7 compatible and 32-bit clean. All of the files on this CD-ROM were opened and played with on a Macs ranging from a Mac IIci to a PowerBook 180c to a Centris 650. Most of them were run in 256 colors on a 14 inch color monitor. We've also done our best to make sure all the files on this disk are either shareware or freeware. If we have made a mistake, please tell us. (Most of the files on this CD-ROM came from various on-line services and user groups. If we do have a few files by mistake so do many other groups as well.)
Please Pay for Your Shareware!
If they are shareware, and you use them, please send in the shareware fee. There are a great many programs and fonts on here that are better than what you might find at your local computer store. So please pay for the ones that you use. This is very important. If you use a shareware program, you're obligated to pay its author the requested fee. It's the right thing to do.
