Default Thanks to Mr. Maginnis for updating A2Central

I would like to publicly thank (and praise) Mr. Mike Maginnis for his timely
dedication to keeping A2Central updated and current! It is now another site
which I visit daily (I used to visit it just a few days per week), and I do
like reading about all of the news going on in the Apple II world!

Thanks!

I agree - but websites are so last year. I just use the RSS feed. :-)

Whoa, there! Are you one of those guys who just has to keep up with the
latest tech?

What are you doing here? Why are you using an Apple II?

I intended to make some sort of announcement about this back in
December when it all happened, but never really got around to it for
whatever reason. Sean Fahey mentioned it briefly in the Open Apple
Rountable podcast, but as I don't know how many csa2 readers listen to
OA, here goes.

I was recently approached by Sean about taking a larger role in
contributing to A2Central. He felt for personal reasons that he
wanted to take step back and hoped I would take over as lead editor
for A2Central. I happily agreed.

So, I'm happy to belatedly announce that I've taken over that role
from Sean, who will remain involved as a contributor, and in whatever
other capacity he feels comfortable. Sean has done an amazing job
over the years since he took over from Sheppy and I hope I can live up
to the high standards he set in making A2Central truly "Your Total
Source for Apple II Computing".

To be clear, I don't own A2Central and I'm not the only one providing
behind-the-scenes administration and support. It's been a challenge
so far keeping up in our friendly rivalry with Call-A.P.P.L.E. and if
I can do half as well as my predecessors, I'll be happy with A2Central
at the end of the day.

Thanks.

- Mike

I'll add my thanks to Mike, Sean, Sheppy, and anyone else involved in
keeping A2Central.com alive and prosperous. I'm more comfortable with
the slow pace of a print magazine and its features and don't envy
anyone who is regularly scouring the Web for news and filtering it
into consumable morsels for us hungry Apple II users. I appreciate
the efforts of those willing to do so -- it's a valuable and necessary
service you provide to the community!

-Ken
