would like to but two things really stand in my way.  1) Time: work
has been getting increasingly busy which barely leaves me enough time
to make a simplw Apple II review twice a month, let alone manage a
website, but we may be hiring another "me" so I wouldn't be traveling
as much which would be great.  And 2) There just doesn't seem to be
enough demand for such a website to exist.  If you look at my Apple II
videos or really any apple II videos on youtube and compare the number
of views/likes/comments to any random Amiga or C64 game, the commodore
machines generate much greater interest, which is unfortunate.
However, as all of you pointed out gaming is only a very small
percentage of what the Apple II is best used for.  Its possibilities
are seemingly limited-less and that's really its greatest strength.
