You just haven't been around long enough. It used to be used a lot
for real work. Now, only spammers and others inconsiderate not to find
out what a group is for before posting do so.

Programs, files, etc related to Apple IIs. Unfortunately, almost
all real work on Apple IIs has slowed to a near-halt by pirates,
slimeballs, and other jerks making any productive work for Apple IIs
likely to be stolen, insulted, and generally not worth it. With nobody
willing to stand up for developers, is it any wonder why developers
are less and less likely to do anything for anyone else?
