	As coincidence would have it, Bill from Call-A.P.P.L.E. has contacted a
number of the owners of these magazines. Rather than putting the magazines
on the web, the owners have given us permission to create and sell
complete collections of their magazines (on CD). If you check out
http://www.callapple.org you can keep track of the various magazine
collections we offer for sale. Since the owners of the magazines might
prefer they be sold, rather than placed on the web or put into the public
domain, I would strongly suggest trying to track down the current owners
of the properties and ask their permission first. You'd be surprised how
often they will say yes to a coherent request...

	There is a BBS on the site too, if you want to communicate with any of
us. At least you should be able to complete your own personal collection
of a couple of magazines (we have more coming).
