I still support the Apple II and have hardly made anything on new sales of
GBBS, and just a few on upgrades, right now I'm holding off on anymore because
we are working on a better upgrade.  

We have all copyed software at one time or another, if not to just see how it
works and then maybe buy it.  Just because the software is not for sale anymore
does not mean that gives the right to copy it and give it to others, do you do
the same for music and other items you can no longer buy?
