That's a fantastic idea... I think one problem for us newcomers is
that almost all the software available is online, and the prospect of
trying to get software from the net into a useable Apple II format is
a bit daunting for us beginners.

It seems all I'm able to find in the thrift shops are educational
titles aimed at 3-year-olds, which are only fun for a minute or two...
I really wish there was a source for things like the Beagle Bros stuff
like the ProDOS compiler and other useful 'programming' utilities.
Basically all the things I have played with on emulators and wished I
had on disk...
And while your at it ;-) how about pdf-ing the manuals...

Let me know when it's ready...
