I apologize for quoting so much of this message, but I did not post what
was attributed to me.  I replied to this message a while ago, and somehow
a quoter mangled the various >>>'s.

As many of you know, I often hang out in #appleiigs and thoroughly enjoy
it.  I am also a new root here at St. Olaf, so also enjoy the infrequent
UNIX talk that does go on in there.  Even the UNIX talk that does go on
in there could be related to GNO/ME.

All in all, I believe that UseNet and IRC are the two best sources of
Apple II support available today.  If ya got a question or comment,
/join #appleiigs (or if you're running Zscript, /jf for join favorite :)
).
