The only stupid question is the one that isn't asked!

Flame me if this has already been posted, but the EMS company in
Maryland now offers a MS-Windows collection.  I believe the price
is $50.  The address I have is:  EMS, 11701 Karen Drive, Potomac,
MD, 20854.  (301) 299-9239.

(For those unfamiliar with EMS, they sell large collections of
downloaded shareware/freeware grouped by categories.  Their massive
dBASE one for $100 (c. 50 disks!) is definitive, and their C one, though
much smaller, was well worth the $50 I paid for the 12 disks.)
