TOAD COMPUTERS ANNOUNCES MIRROR OF UMICH FTP SITE   SEPTEMBER 12 1995
---------------------------------------------------------------------

    SEVERNA PARK, MD, USA--Sept. 12 1995--Toad Computers, a supplier of Atari hardware and software, today announced that they will make available a mirror of the University of Michigan Atari Software Archive. The University of Michigan Atari Software Archive has been the primary FTP site for Atari eight-bit and ST public-domain software for years. However, due to its popularity, it has often been very difficult to get into the site. Various mirrors of the "umich" Atari site exist (wuarchive.wustl.edu), but these are sometimes just as difficult to reach.

        Toad Computers this week announces that they will maintain a mirror of the "umich" archive at their ftp site, "ftp.toad.net".  Toad spokesperson David Troy explains, "We are very excited to be able to offer Atari users something extra; something that goes beyond just our homepage." Since November 1994, Toad Computers has offered a World-Wide-Web homepage which provides news, prices, product information and online ordering to Atari users. Since August 10, 1995, Toad Computers has been connected to the Internet through a high-speed/high-capacity T1 line (1.54MBps). 

        The Toad Computers "umich" mirror can be reached by ftp at the following address:

        ftp://ftp.toad.net/pub/umich/

        The Toad "umich" mirror archive is updated daily and contains over 700MB of compressed public domain software for the Atari 8-Bit, ST, STE, TT030 and Falcon computers. It is accessible from anywhere in the world through the Internet and such online services as GEnie, Delphi, CompuServe, America Online, and the Microsoft Network.

        Toad Computers is a reseller of hardware and software to Atari users and also provides Internet services in the Annapolis, Maryland area. The company is one of the largest Atari resellers in the world and ships worldwide. Toad Computers is located at 570 Ritchie Highway, Severna Park, Maryland, 21146; 410/544-6943.
