As you can tell by the .UUCP in my address above, our site is still in
the dark ages of computer networking and I can't do nifty stuff like FTP
apple or sumex to lay my hands of copious amounts of wonderful
free/shareware.  So my question is:  what alternatives are there for
those of us in my situation.  (We do get comp.binaries.mac, so that
provides some stuff, but it doesn't have the flexibility I want.)

Are there any listservers for these sites (or any others with good Mac
libraries)?  How would I use it?

Any other possibilities?

Since traffic is so high in this newsgroup, just send me e-mail, and
I'll post a summary if people are interested in seeing one.

Thanks,

Geoff
