Well, I guess that's true...trying t.  It's not like I've needed to buy 
any Apple Ii software for a long time.  Lately just end up picking up 
occasional pieces of hardware that usually have the software with them 
if it's needed...or can easily find the software online.

I think I had pretty much ended up with all of the software I 
wanted/needed by the time you took over.  There was a Harmonie update 
that I found out about after you picked it up, but it didn't apply to 
the Deskjet 500 I was using at the time.

Good luck on getting some more copied sold though...
