Woopy do!.  No one put a gun to his head and forced him to produce
nibble did they ?  What the hell is your point ?

He already HAS made his money you twat - when nibble was still being
produced.  The issue now is the outrageous price he is charging for
crustly old Apple // magazine scans which he's already made money off.
It's "double dipping" and squeezing the last bit of juice from the
Apple // "suckers".

ROFL!!

Please don't make me laugh.  Amerika is the country where it's
citizens are so gullible they believe everything their fascist
government tells them and refuse to believe the world exists outside
their own borders.  I feel realy sorry for you as your country is
slowly turning into a dictatorship and is being led by a lying, stupid
and dangerous moron

It's a ripoff - plain and simple.  It's a pity a dumb amercian like
you can't see that.  Then again, you americans are so clueless you
wouldn't know your ass from your own mouth.
