Whoa there boyo. My site isn't of that much use to Apple ][ vets - they
know it all already, and none of it is news to most - although it is all
in one place.

I designed it to look good to Macintosh and PC users. This is for Apple's
21st birthday, so it will look damn fine when its finished.

The Lynx version is coming because I was _asked_ for it, by users who
feel there is more info in there than I thought. I know how to make pages
Lynx compliant - I just wanted to know about the Image _formats_ that the
IIgs can handle...

Yes, your site looks as though it will be very useful, when it is finished,
I will post the Lynx address when I have done it.

Mac's aren't cool, they're current. If Apple moved the ][ to keep up, we
wouldn't be in this mess.

Yours Sincerely,
Richard
