WHAT IS FAMILYWARE?
Familyware is a family owned and operated copy and distribution service
which provides quality educational and family oriented shareware and
public domain software. We've gathered together all of the educational
and family oriented software that we could find. We've tested and
retested thousands of programs. Finally, we've placed the cream of
the crop in this catalog. Whether your children are preschoolers or
college students, you'll find a large selection of software for their
educational needs. From DOS tutors to cookbooks, we're sure you'll
find the exact program you've been looking for.
The programs in our catalog have come from all over the USA
and Canada. Our programs have been created by individual authors,
therefore, each program is unique in it's own way rather than mass
produced by a large and impersonal company. Some of our authors have
created their programs for their own children and others for their
own needs. Because of this, the programs we distribute have a personal
touch that can not be duplicated by any of the programs on the commercial
market.
HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE?
Our prices are as follows:
1 - 10 disks 3.00 per disk
11 or more 2.00 per disk
All disks are 5.25 unless specified.
Add 1.00 per disk for 3.5
We also charge a 4.00 shipping and handling fee per order. If you've
ordered COD, we charge an additional 5.00. Foreign orders please add
an additional 10.00. We must charge Florida residents 6% sales tax.
We accept cash, check, money order or COD delivery. At this time, we do
not accept VISA/MASTERCARD.
It's important to note that not all of our programs fit on one disk.
There are a few that had to be placed on two or more disks due to their
size.
You can print out a copy of our order form from the main menu.
BUT I DON'T HAVE A PRINTER
That's okay, we thought about you too. If you don't have a printer,
simply write down the disk numbers of the programs you want. Calculate
how much they will cost you judging by our prices outlined in the last
section, add 4.00 or more to it depending on your type of order, give us
your address and mail us the order. Soon you will recieve your disks.
I'M NEW AT THIS. HOW DO I USE THIS SOFTWARE?
We've kept the beginning computer user in mind while choosing our
programs, so you'll find most of them easy to use. Most of our
programs are self explanatory, but we've included a HELPME!.COM file
on every disk just in case you need it.
BUT THE PROGRAM JUST WON'T WORK!
On the other hand, if you think you have a defective disk, send it
back to us within 30 days of purchase. Attach a note explaining what
type of computer you have and what happened when you tried to run the
program. If we determine that it really is a defective disk, then
we'll give you a 3.00 credit on your next purchase.
Keep in mind that not all programs will work on all systems, so it's
very important that you read the hardware requirements that is placed
above each program description to make sure that you have the proper
equipment to run the program.
IF I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS, DO YOU OFFER TECH SUPPORT?
Unfortunately, no. We can not offer technical support for our programs.
As we stated earlier, we've tried to offer only the easiest and most
user friendly programs on the shareware market today, so there shouldn't
be that much of a problem running the software, but if you still run
into a problem, we suggest that you contact the author. In most cases,
they are very eager to help.
AREN'T VIRUSES A HIGH RISK WITH SHAREWARE AND PUBLIC DOMAIN PROGRAMS?
Truthfully? No, they aren't if you only buy or download from reputable
dealers and bulletin boards. It's like anything else in life - BE
CAREFUL! Our computers cost a great deal of money. We are certainly
not going to be careless enough to allow a virus to slip through our
system and trash the whole thing. It has to come through us before it
can get to you, therefore we go to great pains to make sure that all of
our software comes from reputable channels and even then it's tested and
retested until we are positive it's clean.
Don't allow virus scares to spoil your fun. The chances of any of us
catching a virus is so slim, it's hardly worth worrying about. In our
opinion, shareware and public domain software is of higher quality and
much more abundant than commercial software. Don't miss out on all of
the quality software that is available to you through us or other vendors
and bulletin boards because of a "maybe". Just be careful where you
obtain your software, that's all.
ANY LAST WORDS OF WISDOM?
Have a good time and happy computing!
