If there was a market, that would be true. Besides myself, I would be
interested in how many people bought the last update of SuperConvert 4.0. I
would guess there were less than 20 copies sold world wide! If there's a leg to
kick out, it must be the size of a mosquito leg! 

How does one buy legitimate software when the past suppliers no longer sell the
titles? How does restricting the distribution of new Apple software to "PAYING"
Delphi members help to maintain interest in the Apple II platform? 

Enough on the piracy issue! If all piarcy of Apple II software stopped today,
there would be no significant increase in the amount of software being
developed. Nor would there be increased interest in the platform. On the
contrary, the existing base would simply fade away. (All but Nothin, because
his head would still be inflated with fantasy land gas!)

As was so nicely put, opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one! Well that's
my opinion. Don't light any flames too close to it!
