Well...you don't want to irritate the general population with too many
announcements of trivial pages. At the same time, you want to be sure
to catch the attention of Apple II users who may not be aware of the
resources that are still available. It seems like having 2 or 3 entries
per month would be more effective over the long haul in getting the
word out.

Perhaps it might be worthwhile to put together an Apple II commemorative
page in order to attract attention. When is the 20th anniversary of the
Apple I? Imagine a page outlining the history...hyperlinks to important
events in each year; pictures from the early days; summaries of each
major Apple II publication; listings of cute "one-liner" Applesoft BASIC
programs; a reprint of Joe Kohn's first published article ;-). Each time
you opened a new "exhibit" in the Apple II museum, you could send an
announcement to the What's New page.
