David - Thanks for noticing,  you're absolutly right.  I am talking about 
the Apple ][+  which I use as my primary computing equipment.  I have a 
486 with microsloth and windose and netscape and all the mudane software to 
use, but I actually prefer my a][+  it's a better computer. 

Thanks again for the ][e code explaination you sent me - I still have it 
and one day may venture to get a ][e

And that is the reason I haven't fixed up my ][e in the shop - no parts.

I hope everyone will excuse my lack of attention to this detail.

Also with my previous posting, I left out one word and it changed the 
whole meaning of what I was trying to say

this should say:

...
a "blackmarket" ... cyberspace that has   * not *  freely offered ...
...

another 2 cents worth
