Thanks for your reply. I will look around for Nibble. I had some old
COMPUTE, K Power, etc, magazines that I have from back in the day, but
I was on a C=64 so I never read the Apple articles. If I still have
these mags somewhere they should be interesting.

I do have a couple floppy drives coming, but they have not yet
arrived.
Meanwhile it's fun starting from scratch, with cassette, paper program
listings, etc. Kind of feels like "camping" - ie making do with two
sticks and a swiss army knife - in a digital sense : )

I know what you mean--and it *is* fun to learn what you can
do with very little.  I couldn't afford a disk drive until
I had my Apple ][+ for almost two years, and found that I
could be quite productive using cassettes.

After getting a floppy, I didn't have a printer for another
year or two, so notebooks were my primary "visible medium".  ;-)
