I just received this from a friend of mine who works at A.P.P.L.E. and
I figured I should post it.



Press Release
  
Date: 	10 April 2002 
  
News: 	A.P.P.L.E. Releases Volume 14 Number 1 of Call-A.P.P.L.E.
magazine
  
Call-A.P.P.L.E. magazine returns to the computing world
　
10 April 2002  Seattle --Apple PugetSound Program Library Exchange
(A.P.P.L.E.) has released the latest issue of it's Apple computing
magazine today after a 12 year absence.
　
The focus of the re-formed magazine will continue to be the Apple II
series but unlike the old magazine, it will also include a major focus
on the complete line of Apple computers.  It will also be the goal of
the magazine to provide the best of the Apple world in a format which
will be useable to all readers.
　 
A.P.P.L.E. was re-established on 1 March 2002 by former A.P.P.L.E.
employees, directors, and authors.  It was decided to revive and
modernize the users group, which will cover the entire line of Apple
computers, from  earliest to most recent models.
　 
The decision to revive the group was based on the success of Bill
Martens' project to preserve materials produced by the group during
the 1978 to 1990 time frame.  With A.P.P.L.E. founder Val Golding�s
input and guidance, the group was re-founded by Bill Martens and Rick
Sutcliffe.  A website containing all of the information and materials
from the group is available online. (www.callapple.org)
　 
A.P.P.L.E.�s current agenda is in stark contrast to the 1984 era where
the Apple programmers� world was divided into those who were faithful
to the Apple II line and those who wanted to see the Macintosh line
become the mainstream computer.
　 
A.P.P.L.E. will also once again provide its members software and
support for those computers that are no longer mainstream models. 
This software will include items that were available in the 1970�s and
1980�s as well as newer software produced by mainstream programmers. 
The newer model library will be built in the coming weeks as a
supplement to the magazine and will be available for download.
　 
Information about the group can be found at it�s web site at
www.callapple.org.  Press information requests can be sent to
press@callapple.org.
