If you are going to do it ... Do it with an ATTITUDE!
PWA..... a juggernaut that rolls on thru 1997
* Please note that PWA is NOT accepting pay sites of any nature.. We're *
* in this for fun and entertainment, not to try to make ourselves rich. *
* PWA also does not accept new BBS', FTP sites, net couriers, graphics *
* artists or programmers (including PPE's... PCB, may it rest in peace) *
┌───────────────────────────────┤ Final Note ├─────────────────────────────┐
│ Support the software companies! If you enjoy using a program or using a │
│ Util, consider buying it! Someone has to make it worth the programmer's │
│ effort to keep up the high standards.. They made it, so they DESERVE it! │
