Can anybody send me a copy of a program on a 3 1/2 or 5 1/4 disk so I
can convert programs that I downloaded off the net onto my LC with an
Apple II Emulator board in it? I have read the old Appleworkds for
the II does it along with others. Will pay couple $$ for time and
disk.

Email me direct, change the nospam in the email address to corey.

Thanks!

It's going to be interesting to see the syndicate battling with
google.com and grin.net over this.

Ah.. so now it's NOT your site after all. Hysterical or not. :P

Oh well, Tom. Mike. Bob. TuhDuh. Charles. If there were any who were
unconvinced of your despicable nature, this adds yet another brick to
your edifice of stupidity. ;)

Of course, you're not to blame. Someone probably uploaded that from
your computer while you were passed out in the toilet. ;)

Keep taking your meds!

I think your best bet is to get a copy of Shrink II. It's a Mac program
that can open Shrinkit archives. So you'd use it to open your archives
and extract them to a ProDos partition on your hard disk or to a ProDos
floppy.

$15 from Syndicomm.

Do you wonder why Dr. Tom gets himself into trouble anytime he posts here?
This is a prime example. Syndicomm has obtained the rights to sell
ShrinkII but Mr. Turley also sees fit to have it posted on his web site.

Nice guy...

"Mike" 's e-mail was the tadapope one too. Go figure.

It looks like we should at least massplonk the "Dorktor", and maybe
Syndicomm could look into legal action, since they are obviously now
aware that he's ripping them off (pretty much, if they are aware of the
bootlegging of their software, I think they're pretty much obligated to
do something about it, to protect their rights?)

Sounds a lot like the early days.......

Gates: I want to be able to license (sell) this software to whoever I wish.

IBM: Sure, go ahead.

Whatever happened to the share it with everyone philosiphy? Linux found it.
