I tend to agree with you about this.  I own a couple of IIe's and a IIGS.  I would
GLADLY purchase new software for them. I use these computers almost daily, and LOVE
them!!!  I just am not sure where new software or even used software for that
matter can be purchased outside of E-Bay!  I wish there was some place or website
that people like me could visit to purchase software for the good old Apple II
series...
Just a thought, Chris.
