Absolutely nothing. Hear, hear ! Let's get rid of this doom and gloom atmosphere and get some real support for the Apple II. I own a //c ("boat-anchor", I sure liked that nick-name :-) which I had upgraded recently, and I certainly am adhering to the "Apple II forever" motto. It's a great computer for what I use it (education), and it is a member of the family :-) And as I'm not a programmer (I'm on of these h/w turkeys :-), I'd appreciate if you gurus out there would spend more time on creativity and imagination for the Apple II than on rumours. Keep the good work up ! I'm always on the lookout for good educational software ! Andrew Guillaume Internet : a.guillaume@trl.oz.au
