Jay, you might consider going one step further in the direction of doing
the "impossible" with an Apple IIe--play some digitized sound!

Apparently, many people still think that good fidelity reproduction of
digitized sound is not possible with any Apple less than a IIgs.  This
is _not true_!  (Of course, an external speaker is a good idea, since
the tinny little 2.5" speaker in the Apple case doesn't do it justice--
just as any PC's built-in speaker must be bypassed for good sound.)

Although the duration of the sounds is limited by available memory
space (at 11KB/second), a hard drive permits pretty rapid-fire reloads
of sound chunks.  My sound player/editor just uses 64KB, so it will
run on "stock" Apple II's, but my player has been incorporated into
"IISOUND", which, though incomplete, will play extended sounds
stored in a auxilliary memory card.  (Though you can hear it "tick"
every several seconds as it crosses from one bank to another.)

Check out Sound Editor, which you can download from my web
page (below).
