Hmmm, I never did get a response to a query I had a couple of weeks ago.
I was concerned that without a modem hooked up to my Apple I couldn't
take advantage of the Beagle offer.  My request was similar to Matt's
suggestion above.  If Beagle make certain software "free" I would be
willing to pay the cost of a disk and any shipping and handling.

I just wondered if the reason Beagle may not do that is because of the
labour and man-hours required for what could easily be a deluge of requests.

Well... I'm still wondering!  Anyone?
