Anyone remember MountIt for the IIgs? What about iDisk?
Anyone talking about the Carte Blanche? It seems like these new
developments
get their 15 minutes (typically a week, a month if you're lucky)
of fame,
and then are promptly forgotten.
Maybe I'm not talking about my Carte Blanche but I'm using it
(playing with it) almost every day and it's the most fun I've had
with my Apple IIgs in a long time. Of course this falls into a
different category than just using an Apple II since I'm using a PC
to do the programming. Still I've learned a lot about my Apple
hardware wise that I never knew before and I've been using Apple IIs
of one kind or another since 1980 (literally an old fogie). Come to
think of it I wasn't much of a *user* in the past. I mean I would
rather write programs that maybe two or three people used than use a
wordprocessor to write a letter. Yeah, and I played around with
writing my own OS. I also liked cracking the copy protection on
games better than playing them and my Apples always had a few wires
and gadgets added to them that weren't supposed to be there :-)
Add to that list "getting an Apple II to do things it 'can't do', and
you've summed me up pretty well, too. ;-)
The point I'm getting at is that I use my Apple to have fun. Always
have. So what ever you do with your Apple do it for yourself and
for fun.
Hear, hear! (Fogie for QFT. ;-)
