Wow, it's been 19 years already. I wasn't into ProDos back then, so I
didn't use this particular port. But it looks cool - your extensions
seem like a great idea!

What are you doing now - are you still writing programs?

I've been involved with a dozen platforms since then, but I still miss
those early Apple II years when there was a lot of excitement, and you
could fully understand every single bit of your software and hardware.

Somehow we lost our innocence, and the wondor of it all ... my kids
take computers for granted in this Internet age. They have no desire to
know how things work under the hood.
