Re: AACP - Apple-to-Apple Copy

[John Flanders <jef@victoria.tc.ca>]

I've been lurking in these apple newsgroups for 15 years (I used to use an
A2+ to read news - now I'm strictly a linux guy) and I havn't posted
anything for at least 10 years.  But I still read them, and at least they
have a dedicated and enthusiastic bunch of users!

Point being that not everyone is a google gremlin!!! and I just wanted to
add a few words after all these years!
