SPECIAL NOTE TO MAC USERS:
We can supply titles on 3.5" HD (1.44M) MAC formatted disks
(MAC/ASCII text only) suitable for any high density Mac drive.
No program files are on these disks, and the user is expected
to provide a reader program or word processor.
Mark your order MAC. All titles are available. All prices are
the same for PC and Mac disks.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
A reminder:
In view of extant legal restrictions, and because we refuse to
make judgments about which titles are unsuitable for minors, we
require all orders to be placed by adults, and we ask that when
you order ANY title, you state in your order that you are over
21 years of age.
