I'm so in love with Apple2, my heart is about pop out. I wrote the Apple2JS emulator a while back, and now I think I'm ready to develop my own Apple2 game :) So inspirational.

This was my first computer purchase back in the 80s. I had played with a Commodor and Amiga as well, but I've been an Apple guy ever since. I have tons of subsequent systems that still work... up until the latest trends and products that is, most of which I find overpriced, overhyped and low-denominator consumer-driven. I write this from my G4 dual 500 tower on which I still have yet to install the 1ghz processor upgrades I bought about 3 years ago. A G5 tower is running music and video editing out in my studio, along my G4 PowerBook sidekick. I love these machines. They get what I need done. Anyway, I loved your story. If you don't mind, might I pick your brain as to how I might easiest create an interface to extract text data from the old floppy 5.25 format (I have a working IIe dual drive) to either a more modern Mac or PC? The text files were created in AppleWorks as part of a SciFi novel I worked on then called “Project Titan” which my son loves seems to think I should finish. My idea was to try and connect to the internet with the Hayes modem and try to post the text into an email, which I would then retrieve. But haven't tried that yet, and your ingenuity has me thinking there might be a better -or- more challenging way! Thanks buddy for a great story and I appreciate any ideas if you have time. deej Hi Modder,

Any more thoughts (or time to make thoughts) about double-lores? 2. Any more consideration for selling a floppy and/or cable so others can make this "go"? Thanks!
