Well, it wasn't just for Genie members...I do believe some of the 
software ended up on Ground.

I do believe I got at least one of the programs before I ever signed up
for Genie...which sort of was a necessity...no ISP in the area I used to 
live in supported the Apple II.  Everything was PPP/Slip and all I had
was a IIGS.

You know, you sure come across awfully bigoted towards online services....
