We don't need bitching and ranting here, please take it elsewhere.  We
only want information.  Contrary to what you and others who are
"Delphites" say, the only source of information on Apple II's is NOT
Delphi.  You already told me in personal email that you don't like it
here on csa2 because it's filled with four-year-olds (your words, not
mine).  If that's the way you feel, you should leave.

Good for you.  It's a waste of bandwidth for many other people here.

Hey bozo, don't read things into my words that aren't there.  I *never
said* I didn't believe in his *software*; it might be a great piece of
software.  I said I don't personally believe in *emulators*.  Any kind.
I've used them and I've immediately deleted from my hard drive because
the majority of them have no sound and are only keyboard driven with no
use of a joystick if it happens to be a game that's being emulated.

Point out the post where I said those words verbatim.  You can't.  I'm a
Mac user *by choice*, yes, but I've been an Apple II user since 1984.  I
didn't start using a Mac until the early 1990s.

And exactly how far in megahertz do *you* have a GS accelerated???  I'll
bet it's nowhere near the speed of that PC you've bragged about.  Isn't
all this Apple II stuff a bit boring for such a speed demon as
yourself?!
