About this group

[grent@comcast.net (Geo3)]

First, I want to wish everybody a happy holiday.

  I would like say this is one of the best groups for getting
information on the Apple II/IIgs. Even if you do not get an answer to
your question. Other areas like Delphi are ok, but do not have the
traffic or interaction that we have here.
  When I needed information on the Mac, the groups I have run across,
do not come close to this group. Everything in (Mac) there group is
all lumped together. Even some of the Mac User groups in and around me
are not that friendly. One near Ann Arbor, has an auction every year.
I used to go there for the Apple II items. But trying to find out
about it was like trying to crack apple II 5.25 disks that were
protected. You could Email there group, there members, and get no
response. Some of them were at one time Apple IIgs members of an east
side club, with no replies from any of them. Even after donating a
pile of mac items, for there auction, and a stern email to them no
reply. But at the AUCTION they wanted you to jion the group. Maybe I
am as ugly as troll and scare the small children, not quite sure.
  Syndicom"s group may be good or even better, but I have been trying
to cut costs, I may not have a job in the next 6 months. The place is
like black hole in sucking up all the jobs. Others I have talked are
in the same boat. Syndicom, seems like a tightly knit group, that
rarely venture out. You can read the Lamp which is great, but I douubt
that anybody outside of there group is posted in it.
It is great that there is a place like Syndicom, and that there are
Apple II people that are will to pay for it. It say a lot for the
Apple II. Not trying to put them down in any way.

 Take Care,
        George from Michigan
