     For sure! Probably, most users would be surprised at the impact of an email 
suggesting that some feature needs to be added, that some aspect of a program 
should be more user-friendly, etc.. Good clear bug reports are always welcome, 
too-- well, kind of-- and, so, naturally, is praise.

     A web site 'clearing house' for user input, developer update announcements, 
and links to shareware/freeware on Ground, Apple2.caltech, etc. would be a 
valuable Apple II resource. Are you volunteering to be the Web Master?
