[comp.sys.mac] How to get sources without having ftp!

gibsond@auc.UUCP (Daniel Gibson ) (11/24/87)

I wish to aquire some of the public domain sources out there
for the macintosh but as a lowly leaf we here for what ever the reason
cannot just "ftp" and enjoy these wonderous things.  I also do not posses
a modem....I am saving up so I can upgrade my 512k. How do I get these sources?
Also what is the best upgrade price out there?-who has it?
What is the trade in value of a 512k???????

Thank-you,

Daniel Gibson

best way to keep informed and get your PD-software nicely organized and
documented is to join your local or a national users-group, like the one
in Boston, Berkeley, NY, DC, ... just to name a few good ones ...

the time spent on FTPing and downloading should be worth more to you than
the cost of membership and club-disks ....  mine is, anyway ...

BTW, regarding the recent comments on how worthless MacWorld, MacUser, etc
really are, the newsletters and other publications available from user-groups
are really worth considering as substitute-reading ...
