- CNET | SHAREWARE NEWSLETTER
- February 1, 2001
- Vol. 7, No. 5
-
- Greetings, Shareware Newsletter subscribers, and allow me to
- introduce you to our new and improved Shareware.com! Since
- 1995, Shareware.com has served as one of the leading sources
- for shareware files on the Web, offering links to thousands of
- downloads found on hundreds of public FTP archives. However, in
- order to keep up with the fast pace of today's downloaders,
- we've transformed Shareware.com into a metasearch-style service
- that simultaneously searches the top download sites--from CNET
- Download.com to File Mine, you can find it all right here.
- Don't believe me? Then search for yourself:

-
- But that's not all. Beginning this week, we've also revamped
- our weekly newsletter to reflect exactly what's going on in the
- world of shareware. Whether you're looking for the freshest
- downloads, the coolest shareware collections, or the latest
- software reviews, the Shareware Newsletter delivers it right to
- your inbox. Or, to put it more simply: if it's out there, we'll
- let you know where to find it.
-
- Enjoy!
