Really, more like reborn. :)
After mostly ignoring it for the last several years, I've revamped it
and it's now a wiki. That should make it easier for me to update and
hopefully others in the Apple II community will also get involved.
Anybody can edit the site, but in an effort to try to keep from being
overrun by spambots I'm requiring people to register before they can
edit. But registration is simple - just a user name/password and a
valid email address to send an automatic confirmation request to. Once
you reply to that request you're good to go. No, I'm not harvesting
email addresses or anything, I'm just hoping it will stop most of the
spam and vandalism that some wiki sites have to deal with.
I envision apple2info.net to become a place where people who get a
piece of Apple II (or 1 or ///) hardware can find all the resources
they need to make it work and find out more about it. I'm also putting
up information about some software, mostly older stuff or system
software.
My intent is not to suck all the information from other sites. Much of
the content is original, but a lot of it has been gathered from other
sites in order to put everything I could find pertaining to a piece of
hardware or software in one location. I try to give credit when I know
where something originated, and expect anyone else editing the site to
do the same.
The Links section is a mess. I just copied them all from my old
"Working Apple II Links" site, which hadn't been updated in years. I
know a lot of the sites are gone, and some have changed hands and
direction, and then there are some new ones that aren't in the list
yet. I'm going to try to go through and clean it up soon.
So, check out the NEW apple2info.net
