Re: trying to get an Apple II GS going for fun...

In Vancouver try London Drugs, Staples or Grand and Toy.
Radio Shack also has them but they charge twice as much as the
others. I've seen them other places but I don't recall where.

ApplesBC, a Vancouver user group has a small but active Apple II
section as well as a IIgs PD library. You can find out a bit about them
at www.applesbc.bc.ca

2] Macs can read and write both PC and ProDOS disks, you
shouldn't have problems transfering files cross platform.
