OK, so I am not alone in this idea. :) More idea: some good/excellent Apple II
programs can be useful to both 8 bit and 16 bit machines: ProTerm for Second
Sight? I would like to get one! And I am sure many 8 bit users who likes to
see real ANSI graphics will be interested in this! AfterWorks? TimeOut?
How about games? Consider writing games for Second Sight on Apple //e: only
sound is lost, and the games now runs on both markets.
