Everyone has been asking (seems like whining) where they can get the latest
Fish disks for the Amiga.  As soon as Mr. Fish posts another 10 disks that
are available, the next day c.s.a has a few posts wondering what FTP site
has the disks, or why certain ones don't have anything beyond 3xx yet.

Ever heard of supporting the author?  It's the shareware principle.

Now, Mr. Fish's policy is not to charge an excessive amount for the
duplication of his disks.  However, he does make a small amount for all the
time and effort that he puts into compiling, testing, and distributing the
disks (one would assume).  In fact he should be charging $10 for each
disk if he wanted to get back the money for the time/effort/computer hardware
he puts into the disks.

So if you are so in need of these new disks, send him a little money, and
you'll have the disks, long before any FTP net site has em.

FTP is NOT free, someone pays for it somehwhere (if you do not directly),
so free up the net, and order the disks youself, or contribute to your
local user's group fund and get copies there (or contribute as well)
