- Thats a Waste of a good $30 I say! Most ISP's have file areas on there
- systems with the Required software you may need, or you can find it quite easy
- enough on the Internet, Hell go to Yahoo and do a search, thats so SIMPLE.
- What software do you need anyway, not much, If you have system 7.5 or
- higher, MacTCP is already there, all you need is MacPPP which is FREE, just
- download a copy, and Download a copy of Netscape, or whatever else you want to
- use. Might be OK for some MAC (Don't know how to do SH*T on there OWN) user,
- that doesn't already have access to Internet, or does but it scared to use a
- SHELL account to get what they need, but I'm pretty sure everyone here is
- already using the AMIGA over the Internet. I'll just say spent that $30 on
- a Registered version on THOR for the Amiga or whatever else you may want.

- Sound like my brother, He still uses AOL, because it's just a No Brainer to
- get setup, though he comes over HERE to acually do anything Useful because
- it's doesn't cost me anything MORE to use my system as much as I WANT where.
- He comes on over does he thing, Downloading MAC software for his system from
- my system, what do I care.... Save them Bucks when you can.
