Under appreciated hardware/software for Apple II's

["One Armed Bandit :)" <leed@sfsu.edu>]

Hi,

	Just something to stir up some activity on CSA2!  :)  

	Well, over the years, some of the most well known software in the
Applr II world had to be Appleworks, The Print Shop and we could all
probably name a few others.  The hardware side was probably similiar as
well, with some big name hardware vendors.  

	But I don't really want that, since most if not all of us know
about the "big" name stuff.  What I'm looking for is any software/hardware
(present or past) that maybe got very little press coverage, perhaps not
too well known wxcept for a few people, but still did the job for you.  

	For me, the one program that stands out is Print Magic from Epyx.
It could've and should've been a classic like The Print Shop, IMHO.  It
was the first of the next generation "Print Shop" type programs.  It's
capabilities were far better than the original Print Shop and even newer
programs like Printmaster Plus.  The main factor that worked against Print
Magic was that Epyx went out of business not too long after it was
published.  I think those who used it appreciated it quite a bit, but it
wasn't in the marketplace long enough to establish itself like The Print
Shop did.  

	As for hardware...well, I don't know, I don't have a lot connected
to my IIe...so I think I'll pass on this one.  

	Anyway, happy reading and writing!  :)

-Don
