Sorry about that Bill.  I hadn't seen you offer when I posted mine but
here's my line of thinking.

When people come here looking for someone to make disk images, they
are typically old Apple II users who left the Apple II world long ago
but still have their old disks.  I am hoping that by helping them
create disk images for free it will encourage their participation in
the Apple II world.  That participation could mean buying hardware
from you or subscribing to Call A.P.P.L.E. or buying stuff from
Syndicomm Online or even just posting messages here.  Back in 1994
someone helped me this exact same way and I appreciated it.  If you
check groups.google.com (see below) you will notice that I've been
making this offer regularly for a long time.

I will make images from your old Apple ][ disks for free.  All you
have to do is send me the disks.  E-mail me if you are interested.
