Favorite Apple II Software:

1. ADTPro - making it possible to run software downloaded on the
Internet on the REAL hardware!
2. Sweet16 - When you can't use a real GS this is ABSOLUTELY the best
GS emulator!
3. Virtual II - The same as above but the BEST Apple II emulator!
4. MountIt - Can be used with either a REAL GS or GS emulator to mount
GS disk images from the GS desktop - need I say more!
5. ADFS - a Mac OS X version of Ciderpress (well sort of). Wish the
person who developed it would update it and make it capable of doing
more.
6. CiderPress - I agree with Sean that there needs to be a version of
this for OS X!

Missing/Needs to be written:
1. More Games! for both the GS and regular II.

Just my two cents worth,
Dean
