On America Online, the company was immediately flamed because:

	The game only used 40 column text.

	It cost no less than $60 MAIL ORDER

If they call that necessary to support the Apple ][ then they deserve it.

80 column text is standard in the Apple ][ world now. So is 128K.

If they call supporting the Apple ][ making a program so stripped down
it will run on a bare ][+ motherboard then they ought to have written it
back when 48K ][+'s were still the number one computer in the nation.

They have no place to complain in today's market.
