I picked up a book called Macintosh Revelations yesterday. The best part about it is the CD that it comes with--a huge BMUG archive of shareware, freeware, and public domain goodies!
This collection is HUGE. Some titles even have more than one version on the CD. Among the highlights are utilities, INITs, cdevs, games, After Dark modules, fonts, and the infamous joke program "Ed Norton Utilities" (anyone remember this one?)
The only utility I don't recall seeing offhand was Backdrop, but I already have that in my public domain software library. Everything else was there, and all on one convenient CD.
Since this stuff is freely distributable, I am hoping to have a public domain software archive on my website in the near future with some of my favorites from this collection. My hope is to focus on the stuff that isn't shareware since many of these authors are probably no longer around and legally we still need to pay for and register our shareware.
