TURLEY ASKS ELECTRONIC ARTS TO DECLARE A2 COLLECTION AS PUBLIC DOMAIN
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Dr. Tom,

You will become the hero of Apple II users if this request to Electronic
Arts is approved!  I'd be amazed if it gets approved, but happy just the
same.  Success would show that you have some clout, even though you are
the undisputed pariah of the A2 world!

I think Joe Kohn got similar approval from another software publisher/
author a few years ago, so you are tredding in Joe's footsteps....
