I agree on all counts, especially that these things need to be reviewed and
updated, but who is going to do it. Who will take the time? "Not I", said
the cat, "Not I", said the dog, etc............ If people would send me
updated
info, I could make those corrections/additions and send them to Jeff and
if he'd be so kind as to reinsert them, this could be accomplished, but
would
I be so bold as to assume that it'll end up like every other project for the
Apple IIs, get set aside and never be completed.

Again, I must agree, hand-on and stories told by those with hands-on
experience is the best way to learn, but these things could be submitted
and posted to these sites and be made accessible to all. Why aren't they?

Ok, then, on that note, you probably should know enough to figure
this stuff out mostly for yourself, with just a little info from others.
'Nuff said.
