Default Why I like the Apple II?

(and this is an non-exhaustive list)

You know, when I do not (try to) code on my Apple IIgs, I crack Apple
II software and put explanations on http://www.hackzapple.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=13
....or I purchase Apple II items, mainly French software and tapes for
the two projects I host on brutaldeluxe.fr.

And what I like is when software authors contact me and take time to
discuss about their Apple II life nearly 30 years ago. That was
recently the case with Dann McCreary, the author of Disk-O-Tape, a
software to copy Apple II disks on tape.

I have just updated his page with one message Dann wrote about that
time. I invite you to discover it at http://www.brutaldeluxe.fr/projects/.../dannmccreary/

Long live the Apple II,
Antoine

Indeed! Thanks for posting that Antoine.

I too like to read messages like Dan's. They provide more insight into
our history.

I really enjoy reading stuff like this. I sometimes get messages from
the original programmers of the Apple II software I review on youtube
and it really makes my day I agree wholeheartedly with Dann, you
are doing a great service Antoine. Thanks for sharing.
