This book aims to assist Mac users to equip their Macintosh system 7 and compatible computers with business and educational software, HyperCard stacks, productivity tools, system extensions, INITs, desk accessories, utilities, games, sound effects, clip art, and much more - all at a lower cost than commercially sold programmes. Brant shows what shareware programmes are available, how and where they can be found, and how to use them most effectively. Readers learn where to locate commercial, CD-ROM, MUG, online, and bulletin board shareware; how to select the right programmes for specific needs; and how to equip the Macintosh with shareware storage devices, modems, CD-ROM drives and other peripherals. Brant gets readers off to a good start by furnishing 14 useful Macintosh shareware programs on an accompanying disk.
