- MIT’s Macintosh Archive
- One of the last university run archives, the MIT site is rather large in scope and may find you one of the older "gem" programs that has since been deleted from all the other "advanced" sites. Perhaps time will eventually close this archive down, but until then check this out.

- The Association BBS
- This quirky archive seems to be growing and has some new files quite quickly. File descriptions are sometimes a bit technical and cryptic, but its another good place to look for files. Nicely organized. Seems to have a monster-sized database of files.

- WEB BROWSER LINKS
- Netscape Communicator/Navigator 4.5
- Sure, Netscape is part of AOL now, but this is still the leader in the browser race if you want to snub Microsoft. A solid performer at the current version 4.5. The 5.0 version is supposed to improve even further...look for it soon.

- Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.5
- Get the latest version of Internet Explorer from this link. In a two horse race, this is a worthwhile product, but (in my humble opinion) you should be ashamed for siding with the evil Microsoft empire. Use the force...Netscape.

- INTERNET SOFTWARE LINKS
- FreePPP 2.6
- Problems getting on or staying on the Internet? Rockstar Studios will remedy that! The Apple software that allows PPP connections is STILL weak after years of trying. FreePPP is a better solution. Easy to install and set up, you'll kiss your MacPPP goodbye after trying this! The 2.6 version fixes some minor problems, improves reliability, and makes many new modems happy!
