I'm not quite sure why they did this.  It is really not necessary.  I think it
resulted from some early trouble during the beta test and Quantum has maybe
not been fully updated since the newer software has been around.  I run my
software with the printer settings totally normal and just forgot about what
the Applelink manual says.

As far as what's there, I agree, not a lot yet.  It will get better only if
people stick with it though.  Most major online services dont "happen"
overnight, and Applelink sure fits there.  Things have been going well in my
forum lately, and the other Apple // forums have some things of interest too. 
The downloads will get better rapidly now that they have released ACU to the
membership.
