Hi group,

I just called the STORE! last night after having registered several
days ago.  I wanted to get CAPCTRL3.5 (naturally!).  Part of the
package deal was the automatic downloading of the most recent
catalog.  Note that I don't work for AT&T, so this is what the rest
of us plebean 3b1/7300/UnixPC/Safari owners can get:  Below is the
order screen display, rendered into reasonable ascii format for
the net:

What I really wanted is mailx, but it ain't there.  I guess if I
would like to play Unix games with my 3b1, I'd be in pretty good
shape!  At least, CAPCTRL3.5 is there.  By the way, I also
downloaded the COMM_DOCS.  That is a real waste of time; it is
written by a person at Convergent Technologies, and makes many
references to "Unix PC Mail Users Guide".  I called the AT&T
documentation center and the hotline, and both totally deny the
existance of such a document.  Sigh.

I apologize if this sounds like so-called "flaming".  I *do*
appreciate AT&T taking the time to have the STORE! bbs.  What I
would like is to see more stuff there that is useful.
With a machine like the Unix PC, we need more than games.  (Heck we
can get that with a lowly PC clone :-).  )
