- Actually, I think a lot of people are familiar with
- subscriptions to the Fish library, but why bother when you can get
- what you want for free? I'm guilty of this. For the past several
- years, I've gotten numerous programs off Fish disks from FTP sites.
- But now it's time to pay the piper.

- Great idea. Some people have been suggesting giving $50/year.
- But I think that amount may not be necessary. I have the feeling that
- the number of people worldwide that have accessed the Fish disks is at
- least in the 10,000s. So if most of us just send in $2-$3 every once
- in a while, Fred will be in good shape. Tell anyone out there,
- if you appreciate Fred's contributions, send him a "thank you" note
- with a couple of bucks. From a recently posted disk listing the
- address is:
-
- Fred Fish
- 1835 East Belmont Drive
- Tempe, Arizona 85284
- USA
-
- Consider my donation on it's way. Like Nike says, "Just do it."
