- How To Obtain Disks
-
- First, you may wish to check with your local dealers and user groups.
- Most already have many of the disks. Since these disks can be copied
- freely, and widespread distribution is encouraged, they propagate out
- to central distribution points fairly quickly. For currently released
- disks, local sources are often the cheapest and quickest way of
- obtaining a disk you are looking for.
-
- Anyone is welcome to obtain disks directly from me, and in particular,
- to set up a subscription for future disks (see below). It is the
- subscribers for future disks that essentially fund continuing devel-
- opment of disks and ensure the continuance of the library.
-
- Naturally, you are encouraged to make copies for your friends, local
- user groups, dealers, etc. My goal is to get as much software as pos-
- sible into the hands of people that can use and enhance it, and make
- the AMIGA the success it deserves to be.
-
- How to Order
-
- To order, send a list of the disks you want, and payment in U.S.
- funds to:
-
- Fred Fish
- Amiga Library Disks
- 1835 East Belmont Drive
- Tempe, Arizona 85284
- USA
-
- The per disk fee as of March 1993 is as follows:
-
- 1 to 9 disks $4 per disk
- 10 or more disks $3 per disk
- complete library $1 per disk (see note below)
-
- The price includes cost of media, mailing materials, and postage
- (except for the "complete library" rate). Domestic (USA) mail is
- sent first class. Overseas mail is sent via Air Mail at no addi-
- tional charge. Time and other jobs permitting, all disks will be
- mailed within 5 days of receipt of order, except for very large
- orders. Most orders are filled within 3 days.
-
- If the per disk charge in effect at the time your order is received
- is less than the amount stated above, you will be charged the lower
- rate, and an appropriate credit for the difference added to your
- account. It is highly unlikely that the per disk charge will be
- higher (it has always decreased, reflecting my decreasing cost for
- disks since beginning distribution of the library).
-
- Credit card orders can be accepted, however such orders must be a
- minimum of $200 and are subject to a $25 processing fee (the fee
- charged me to get them processed through a third party).
-
- Complete Library Orders
-
- The "complete library" price ($1 per disk) applies only to orders
- of a complete set of all disks in the library at the time of the
- order, and does NOT include shipping. Use an estimate of 5lbs per
- 100 disks to compute shipping charges for the method of your choice
- and include sufficient funds to cover such charges. Any excess will
- be refunded. Up to an additional 100 future disks can be preordered
- at the same time as the initial order, for $2 per disk.
-
- This offer is intended to provide a relatively low startup cost
- for new user groups, dealers, or other users, to obtain a complete
- library set.
-
- Subscriptions
-
- Feel free to order more than the current number of disks available.
- Excess funds will be placed "in escrow" (refundable at any time)
- and drawn against for automatic mailings of future disks as they
- become available. These disks will be charged against your account
- at the per disk charge in effect at the time they are shipped.
- I hope to add at least four to six disks per month to the library.
-
- Tape Distributions
-
- Some library materials are now available on 1/4" cartridge tape.
- Below is a description of the first three tapes in the library.
