FWIW, I bought what were called new and when they arrived) looked like new
Clais master disks for AppleWorks GS v1.1 (no Claris manuals) from Alltech
Electronics over a year ago. They were being sold for $19.00 (or $15.00 to
SSII subscibers) at the time. I have a third party AWGS manual that I
picked up at the local bookstore a while back that I thought might come in
handy some day. It sure did!
