I for one didn't know that Nathan Mates is the person who the Apple II
community going. With Nathan gone, it is possible some of the rest of the
folks will pick up the slack. I , for one, hardly ever answered a post
when a question was posed. That's because normally Nathan jumped in with
his standard "See the FAQ" posting. Surprising, some of us out here have
actual real life experience using an Apple II(x) for educational,
business, and recreational purposes, some since the II line was first
introduced.

FWIW, it's been awhile since Nathan's departure. I'm about to place any
thread with "Nathan" in it into my filters to send to the trash. He's gone
already folks! We got to move on here.
