: buying the software and supporting the platform.

Let's personalize the statement "support those who support the Apple II" 
so it doesn't ring so hollow.

Before leaving for KansasFest, I sent Tom Weishaar a check for $250. 
That was for royalties on A2-Central disks I'd sold this year.

With very few exceptions (the exceptions are those programs that SSII 
purchased the rights for such as Contacts GS and Addressed For Success), 
all the commercial software sold by Shareware Solutions II involves a 
royalty arrangement where the copyright holder receives money from 
Shareware Solutions II.

Shareware Solutions II actually 'supports' quite a few Apple II 
programmers. Among some of those who currently receive money from SSII 
are Seven Hills, Sheppy, Bill Heieneman, WestCode Software, Steve 
Disbrow, Chuck Newby (and Glen Bredon), HangTime, Brutal Deluxe, Ewen 
Wannop, Jim Maricondo, and quite a few others.

IOW, Shareware Solutions II has "put its money where its mouth is." When 
you purchase products from Shareware Solutions II, you are giving money 
not only to SSII, but to those who have produced some great Apple II 
software. Fortunately, in return, you're getting some really good, useful 
and low-cost software.
