Compuserve sounds real nice, but what I would really like to see
is better use of USENET. It's only a matter of months (maybe weeks!)
before comp.windows.ms is innundated by all the usually
repetive requests for this kind of information.
I am in the process of compiling a list of phone numbers,
addresses, internet archive sites, freeware/shareware program
descriptions, etc. I would like to suggest that if you
have info of this sort (e.g. what number to call to order
or upgrade MSW) please post it and I'll add it to my list.
Thanks.
