Well, assuming AOL access, users can still find Apple's presense
in the AOL Apple II Forum, complete with BOTH Mac and Apple II
archive formats of System 6.0.1 and Hypercard for the IIGS.  Apple
probably no longer knows they still have a presense in the forum,
but the presense nonetheless persists.  ;-)

I'm sure it is also true of Delphi and Genie and maybe even good
old Compuserve.
