We can ask the pirates to remove Appleworks from the site, and we've done
so many times in the past.  Each time it is removed and each time
Appleworks eventually comes back. 

As far as starving Apple II programmers go, they don't need to be
starving.  It's time to go where the jobs are.  If you're programming
exclusively for the Apple II you will starve.  (I loved my Apple II, but
it was time to move on)

As far as good faith goes, SQC has sold and supported Appleworks to the
very end and beyond.  (we're past the end here folks)

One final note.  The opinions expressed above are not necessarily the
opinion of my employer.  They are mine and mine alone.
