Are you proposing that there might be someone dishonest on eBay?  I can't imagine that happening!!!   :-P

Fred Fish did play a HUGE part in establishing the critically important freeware and shareware aspect of the Amiga long before the Internet was available to mere mortals, long before even BBS's were en vogue, and even before 300 baud modems were within the reach of the average user.  


I remember the Fish disks being very popular, but did he do something before the Amiga?  I remember dialing into bulletin boards on my C64 with a 120 baud modem (I think that was the speed) back around 1979/80.  Anyone else remember the C-Net bulletin board system designed by Ken Pletzer?  Now those are some hazy old memories!!!  Fond ones as well.   :-)
