    That $50/month service charge will hang over our heads like a bad
omen... $600/year, $3000 for five years.  Hardly feasible for keeping
Apple II files around "for an eternity".  ;-)  There is no question in
my mind that we should find an alternative site.

    Caltech?  Wuarchive?  Ftp.uu.net (probably charge an arm and a leg)?
Preferably some place large that won't retire its machines or move the
archives some place else in the foreseeable future.
