Sorry, was quoting a PC dealer/reseller price.  Actualy, $60 or more
like it.  Apologies are in order.  Anyway, I hope the law of 
diminishing returns evens out on this card to make the price $150,
give or take.

On another slightly different track, which company (if any company)
has Apple II data on its users?  You know, how many people own
what kind of Apple II, how much do they make, what programs do they
use, etc.?
