Re: sourhern minnesota user group apple 2 anybody?
Sorry, didn't read the original message but saw this one. I live in
the SW corner of Wisconsin (right next to the Mississippi) in
Cassville, WI. I was just in Albert Lea couple weaks ago (during that
bad snow storm) picking up a bunch of Commodore stuff from a guy in
SD. Not the biggest Apple head myself, but have a few items.
