Just a benchmark for --Apple II Forever!--

About 6 months ago the Macintosh (GASP!!!!) Community raised over
6K$ in about 3 weeks for a massive hard drive for the info-mac
archive at sumex-aim.

It will now be very interesting to see if all those very vocal Apple II
proponents are willing to back their talk with their $$$$s.

My guess is that, like most plans for the future of the Apple II, this
one will die a lonely death.

Anyone care to PROVE me wrong?
