Perhaps the returning of the Apple // into the hackers hands is a good
thing, I've seen a lot of crap software come out, and that can't be good
for a computer's name.  I for one am not willing to pay money for
useless software, and perhaps developers don't quite understand that
$40-$50 is alot of money.

There has been a lot of brilliant software for the apple, stuff that I
still play today is 10 years old ... and brilliant.  With the machine's
future returning to those who use it daily, there will be plenty more
GOOD and EXCELLENT software packages available.

Just because the // is an 8 bit (pardon me, gs) machine in this world of
32 bit machines , it doesn't mean that it can't do any of the things
that we want it to.
