o I returned from my overseas travels in early November and have agreed to take over the Apple II sub-editor position from Sean Craig. On behalf of all the Apple II section readers, I extend thanks to Sean for his hard work throughout the last year.
o The UnderEstimation of the Year award goes to Dataflow Computer Services for ordering only 4 copies of newly released AppleWorks 4.0 for Australian distribution.
This looks really, really silly when you consider that more AppleWorks 4.0 upgrades are being sold in the USA than full copies of AppleWorks GS has ever sold (ie. a lot!).
o Spectrum, developed by Seven Hills Software, is the first terminal program to be commercially released for the Apple IIgs. Our own Richard Bennett, Cameron Brawn and Sean Craig were involved with its development so it should be reasonably good. A few purchasers have grumbled over the fact that ANSI emulation has been implemented on the text screen. I would be inclined to join their grumblings considering that a shareware program called ANSITerm does a very nice ANSI emulation in SuperHIRES. No other complaints have arisen so far, though. I am waiting eagerly for a review copy to come my way.
o Two Series Software (02)606-9343 special: Express Print Spooler $24.95. Stop waiting for your computer to print! Get it done in the background! Apple IIgs Desktop applications only.
o How many Apple II members have a modem? I would guess that a fair few do and they use them frequently. But what about those that dont? I guess they are wondering what all the fuss is about. If you're an Apple II user who owns a modem or maybe you don't but you're thinking about it, make sure you come along to the February 14th Apple IIgs main meeting. We'll spike your interest. See you there!
