Nathan! King of All Moron's!

Get a clue. Most of us emulator users are pc/mac based and lets face facts.

   1 - .shk is *not* that easy do deal with on a PC.
   2 - The emulator authors are not creating the image format for use
       on the apple II.
   3 - You are a freaking idiot.
   4 - The only waste of time is my writing of this article, since you 
       probably have me in your kill filter. Then again, anyone who doesn't
       agree with you ends up in your kill filter. That is probably why
       you only think 5 people frequent this newsgroup.

Go away...
