* Delphi Textside (Almost) Done

As of May 1, 2001, Delphi's textside interface was essentially
disconnected.  Not totally, but essentially.  No one can participate in
chat or post new messages, but the rest of the system remains intact
as-is.  Not that there's much to do if you can't chat or post new
messages.  This marks the sad end of an era in the Apple II's history.

Much of our old pals from Genie and Delphi are hanging out on
Syndicomm.com, the renamed A2Central.com, as you'd expect.  Come join
us! 

* Syndicomm.com Expands

The Online Service Formerly Known As A2Central.com continues to expand
just as Delphi goes down the road away from the text based Apple II.

** New Communities

brings online some new communities: Palm OS, Refunders, HelpDesk,
LiveGames, and Singles are either online or coming soon, and there'll be
even more in the weeks ahead.  If you're interested in joining, see
http://www.syndicomm.com/.  If you're interested in starting a
community, you may want to email contracts@syndicomm.com.

And if you're interested in helping out in the Palm OS Community, feel
free to email me at a2.ryan@syndicomm.com.

** KFest Chat

Kirk Mitchell, Syndicomm.com's A2 Community Real Time Conference
Manager, arranged with Grand Gouda Steve "Godzilla" Gozdziewski to host
a KansasFest informational chat on April 22, 2001, at 5:00 Pacific
Daylight Time.  A good time was had by all as many KansasFest attendees
showed up for a mini preunion.

* KansasFest On The Horizon

Speaking of the Apple II event of the year, Steve Gozdziewski announced
on the KansasFest email list that available rooms are filling up rapidly
for KFest 2001.  Join us at historic Avila College in Kansas City,
Missouri this July.  See http://www.kfest.org/ for more information on
this incredible event. 

* F.E. Systems On The Virtual Move

Attention, dog lovers: Henrik Gudat announced that F.E. Systems, the
publishers of the remarkable Apple IIgs emulator for the Power Macintosh
known as Bernie ][ The Rescue, have moved to a new domain.  You can now
find them at http://www.bernie.gs/ and email them at woof@bernie.gs.
