Yes, I really do want to pay $300 for AppleLink. I almost never used it for
mail, however. What I did use it for was getting the most recent versions of:

	o Apple programs (ResEdit, MacsBug, Virus Rx)
	o Tech Notes
	o MPW interfaces
	o Documentation (Sound Manager chapter, Script Manager, etc)
	o Sample programs

I'm sure there's other stuff I've forgotten about. Half this stuff ain't
on UseNet, the other half is way behind the times. No fault of usenet,
obviously, that's just life. Matter of fact, AppleLink is one of the few
things I miss from my old job.
