I dunno, I think we should kind of get worried about this. I really don't go to software stores much, but it seems to me that Egghead is/was one of the last major software stores (or computer stores in general) to have a halfway-decent selection of Apple II stuff. That's BAD news. Most of us here get some magazines and are pretty hip on the (virtually nonexistant) new software that comes out, yet other people are not... So this can 'validly' be taken as a bad sign and not just unnecessary complaining, I think. >But worst comes to worst, We've enjoyed our computers and we still >have them.

Captain Goodbody?? wasn't it Captain Goodheart or Captain Goodnight or something like that? (Captain Goodnight sounds right now).. I think that was supposed to be a series of games, from what they said when you win the game... Ohwell.. Maybe one of the programmers on here'll make a GS version, just like the cool GS version of Lode Runner! -- /unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu Apple IIGS Forever! unknown@cats.ucsc.edu\ |WANT to help get ULTIMA VI //e or GS written?-mail me.
