Technically (and being totally tongue-in-cheek ridiculous), it shouldn't
be on commercial information systems at all.  GEnie, AOL, CIS, etc. all
charge a minimum monthly fee well over $5.00.  You have to pay over $5.00
just to get one file.  So, programs such as Richard Wifalls should NOT be
on Genie, CIS, AOL, or any BBS which charges a fee of over $5.00.  It
should not be on any medium except 5.25 or 3.5 DD or 3.5 HD diskettes.
Backup tapes, Flopticals, Optical disks, CD-Roms, Hard drives etc. still
cost over $5.00 apiece and so should never contain such restricted share-
ware if it is sold to any person!

And to be serious again, Richard Wifall & others have every right to
make this restriction.  If they don't want their programs on the lastest
technology, it IS their right.  I'm waiting for the release of new programs
for II+ and IIe owners on AUDIO cassette tape :-)  Too bad //c and IIGS
owners don't have cassette in/out jacks :-)  Lets restore the Apple II
to 1977 technology - cassette tapes forever!  Down with direct access
devices!

We now return to regular csa2 flames ...
