Joe, I've visited your web site, and, although a 5.25" "starter kit" could
no doubt be put together from the PD software you list, it is not obvious
to a newbie how to proceed.  In fact, a cursory scan of your website would
leave most people wondering if you had 5.25" floppies at all.  ;-)

The opportunity people are suggesting is to HEADLINE a "New to the II"
Starter Pack of a couple 5.25" floppies and perhaps a 3.5" floppy to get
just about anyone who just found his dad's old //c+ or //e in the attic
on the air without too much trouble.

Five bucks (postage included) would make it pretty painless, and would
establish you as a good source for other software as their needs/interests
expand.

Folks are not trying to give you a hard time, Joe, just presenting you with
an opportunity to keep Shareware Solutions going strong.  ;-)
