DBOTTOMS@DePauw.BITNET ("DOUGLAS BOTTOMS, TRANSPORTER CHIEF OF DEPAUW") (09/14/89)
I am really impressed with this discusion list...I've been reading this list
for 2 weeks and already love it. I'm purchasing an ATARI 1040ST by the end of
next sat.(9-18) and would like to know the following:
1. How do I get on, or find the Public Domain?
2. how do I get on, or find the BBS's around my area(Clayton or
Greencastle, Indiana {U.S.A})
3. Who can send me programs (legally) for free, I am a typical college
student with no money, the only reason I'm going to DePauw U. is
because they gave me a Computer Science Scholarship--the tuition
is almost 17,000 a year {not including Pizzas on the weekends}.
4. Where is there a company that will send me broshers, folders, mail,
and etc. {** in the mail of the conventional world who has not
discovered email **} about the Atari 1040 ST, its programs, and
software that is available to me.
I thank all of that help me with this in advance, and to those who can't
(or won't) help--that's OK because I may be your Boss someday...
Atari lives.........

The referenced article is a request for help starting out from an impecunious
college student who's about to purchase an ST.
Two low priced ways to get started are to send $3- to Accusoft, P.O. Box
02214, Columbus, Ohio 43202 with a note asking them to send their catalog
disk, and also to buy a copy of Computer Shopper, which has BBS and user
group listings (which aren't necessarily accurate, but help some).
