What on earth are you going on about Greg?  The guy's question was perfectly
reaonable, if maybe a little dated.  Maybe the question would be answered
more quickly in comp.sys.apple2, but in this case, why don't *you* send him
mail politely suggesting this...

Maybe a flame, but your answer suggests the attitude that any questions not
personally directed to, or interesting to you, are inappropriate to the group.
