thats nice. Every other 8 bit system(Atari, Commodore, Spectrum, etc)
has pretty much all documentation, magazines, AND software available for
the download. Same goes for Atari ST & Amiga stuff excepting for recently
developed and supported programs, which is entirely understandable, yet
all the docs & magazines are freely available.

This nickeling and diming of the apple 2 community is what is really
killing it as compared to the others. My personal special favorite is
the exorbitant prices charged for obsolete, non-currently developed, and
unsupported dev tools by syndicomm.

So. What's Apple's opinion on the sale of 8/16 bit operating system
disks?
