: case you haven't noticed, the name of this group is
: comp.sys.apple2--that is, it's a group for Apple II information.

--> Why, indeed; must someone be on Delphi in order to show that
    they care about the Apple II series of computers?

    I care a lot about the Apple II. My 1st system was (& I still
    use it monthly) an Apple IIe. The only thing left from our (A2)
    local user group is the BBS I help run. I may use PC's at work
    and home - but I'll never abandon my IIe. I learned so much
    about computers & computing on it - a first-love, I guess...
    But that doesn't mean I _MUST_ therefore get an account on
    Delphi. I sure wouldn't want you doing my math; cuz your
    equation (ie: A2 interest=Delphi) just doesn't add up!

    I get my A2 `fix' right here. Almost daily. Though I must admit
    that the A2-drug I yearn for, has been seriously `cut' by the
    non-A2 content (read: flames) that has regrettably blossomed here.
    But getting at least _some_ A2 info beats getting none at all.
    A `fix' is a `fix', right?   :->
