Mac GUI Releases Vault- Retro Apple Computing Archive

[D Finnigan <dog_cow@macgui.com>]

Springfield, Illinois, September 09 2009 - Mac GUI, a web site 
originally focused on Mac interface customization, is proud to announce 
the availability of Mac GUI Vault, a comprehensive resource for retro 
Apple II and Macintosh computing spanning from 1978 to 1998. Mac GUI 
Vault includes software for, photos of, and text files on most every 
facet of vintage Apple computers.

D. Finnigan, the owner of Mac GUI says, "Retro computing is really 
becoming quite a hot topic these days, and it seemed as though there 
weren't any comprehensive sources for the Apple. Mac GUI Vault contains 
roughly 29,000 files gathered over a period of 12 months. These files 
came from many different sources and part of the fun was tracking down 
the rarer ones. Now they're all available in one place."

Mac GUI Vault offers the following advantages over similar sites: a 
modern design, fully cataloged and searchable listings, in-depth 
archive, and a growing collection of Usenet discussions. "I felt it 
important to start archiving the Apple II Usenet groups and I'm glad 
that I did. They're just another handy resource for the Apple user," 
said Finnigan. "It's great to have all of this information at one's 
fingertips."

Contributions to Mac GUI Vault are welcome in the form of photos for the 
museum, text files for the library, and software for the collection. 
Contributors and collectors alike may participate in Mac GUI's 
discussion forums where anyone may ask questions and give advice on all 
manner of Apple II and Macintosh computers. Both novice and experienced 
users will find suitable material for whatever interests them.

The complete Vault collection may be obtained on DVD, free of charge, 
and those with servers who wish to mirror the collection are also 
welcomed. There is no fee or any sort of limit on downloading from 
Vault. Everyone is welcome to use and redistribute the files. For 
further information, please see the Vault FAQ page or contact D. Finnigan.
