  In an article in NeXTWeek (inside MacWeek 9/19/89), it was mentioned
  that NeXT users may be able to BUY SOFTWARE OVER THE PHONE:

> 	  A demonstration version of the program (FrameMaker 2.0)  
>	with the save feature disabled will be included 
>	on Version 1.0 of the system software disk 
>	from NeXT.  Users can call Businessland or 
>	Computer Craft to buy the program and get 
>	documentation and a password to enable saving...
 
  My questions are:

  1. Does anyone know of a Mac software developer or publisher 
     who sells programs directly to the user over the phone?
  
  2. Are there any plans to introduce a similar distribution
     system for the Mac?

  Any information on these two questions would be greatly appreciated.
