Indeed :-)

I'm happy to see Apple II related code 'snippets' posted, in any
language. I do however think we should try to move such discussions to
c.s.a2.p as soon as they shift towards code.

100-200 lines seems like a reasonable upper limit (except perhaps for
asm snippets). Beyond that, posting a link to a complete program seems
more sensible.

The web framework I work with professionally has a rather nifty site:
http://www.djangosnippets.org/ which collects small snippets of re-
useable Python code. Perhaps such an idea could be transferred to the
Apple II ?
