   Asimov is Apple II unfriendly. [Sound efx: crowd emoting complete
and utter surprise, interspersed with comments like 'I never would
have guessed.'] The few legit pieces of software you can get there
[spelt 'eamon'] have better versions available elsewhere. Unpacking
them on a regular Apple II is damn hard-- the emulator crowd wants to
force you into getting another computer, and it doesn't have a 65xx as
its guts.

   Plus there's the whole issue that large chunks of Asimov is still
copyrighted. Stick to the real Apple II archive sites.
