This is just a side comment but the about a month ago I found my apple
II+ in my closit that I got when apple II+ where new.  I plugged in
the 48k beast and stuck in a disk, it worked fine.  I took out the
disk blew the dust off of it and it did not work.  I wondered why for
a little while and then I put some dust back on it and it worked
again.  Snack Attack worked again.
