    /-\nd THAT is why I originally wrote my disclaimer in the first place.

    /-\s I think I've mentioned before (but maybe not here), if the
members of "One World Software Wizards" REALLY wanted to support the
Apple II, they would completely disassociate themselves from Charles
Turley, aka "Dr. Tom," and come together under a name different from
"One World Software Wizards."  Realize that the name "One World
Software Wizards" has become poison in the well-connected part of the
Apple II community (how many people didn't even LOOK at PongLife
because it had the name "One World Software Wizards" associated with
it?).  It is also looked upon with great suspicion by the majority of
commercial Apple II developers (Quality Computers DOES know about
"OmniPaint," "Dr. Tom's" sector-edited version of Platinum Paint, and
Seven Hills DOES know about the pirated and sector-edited beta copy
of Spectrum that "Dr. Tom" was passing out).  Lastly, even most
independant Apple II software developers consider "One World Software
Wizards" to be a bad joke, at the very least for its association with
"Dr. Tom" (and since it was founded by him).
