Surely you jest. With as many people still preaching the "Apple II Forever," new shareware, and support from companies like Vitesse, the Apple II still has quite a bit of life left... ______________________________________________________________________________ | C.

Definitely not *all* of the people laid off will be Apple II diehards...we don't account for nearly 10% of the workforce! :-) -- David A.

It looks to me as if Apple's bailing some dead weight now that System 7 is finished. Todd Whitesel toddpw @ tybalt.caltech.edu

Who exactly is Vitesse, what have they made? Also I haven't really seen any new shareware, other than the usual Shrinkit for the Apple computers. No actual programs that is, demos don't count really...

Vitesse is a fairly new company to the world of Apple II. You've probably heard of the hand-held scanner "Quickie". They make that in addition to drivers that will allow GS users to use non-apple laser printers (i.e., HP LaserJets, DeskWriters, etc) and HD utilities. Thier software is excellent. ShareWare is all over the place. User groups would be able to get tons of it to you, as would Apple II clubs like Big Red Computer Club. Write Big Red and ask for a catalog of their stuff (it's all public domain/shareware). Big Red Computer 423 Norfolk Ave Norfolk, NE 68701-5234 I think you'll be surprised at just how much is available to you. ______________________________________________________________________________ | C.
