A lot of the ppl who don't still have a GS in there used to be GS
programmers, so they're a GREAT source of info re the GS.

Am I the only one who _only_ has a GS (actually, 2 of 'em) in #appleiigs?
Wow. :)  Although I work all day with SparcStations...

Jawaid Bazyar has started #appleii on the undernet, but not too many people
hang out in there.  His channel is definitely more Apple II oriented,
but thus less populated (like 2-4 ppl).  He himself is around quite often,
and he's very helpful.

To get there, you can either "irc <nick> us.undernet.org" or type
/server us.undernet.org after starting irc.

[Blatant plug]: I've been writing the ultimate ircII script.  The next
time you're on, simply do:

/ctcp Zelix xdcc send 1
then /dcc get Zelix
and finally /load Zscript

Enjoy, and remember to have fun!
