Re: Wanted: someone to take my Apple 2 disks and give me a ZIP file (for $)

[jmholmes@swbell.net (John)]

In keeping with the original intent of this message...

This can relatively easilly be done.  Especially by those of us who have a 
//gs with 5.25" drives and a way to read those disks and copy them to a drive 
that is readable on a Mac/PC platform.  These files can then be zipped (a 
file (or files) that are zipped are actually put into a single .ZIP PC file as 
opposed to being written to a ZIP drive) up for ya and consequently emailed to 
you with little or no problem...  

Drop me a line if you're interested as I have the necessary equipment to 
handle your situation!
