My theory is that it will never be taken down, because who does so would have to tacitly admit they created or are proud of Pole Position: The Animated Series |

FYI, on a completely unrelated note, I am coming into possession of the entire Apple II 5.25" floppy library of software formerly held by the Rhode Island Apple User Group. Are you still in the business of archiving that stuff? I have a machine with a serial connection that can do it, but knowing that a lot of this stuff would probably require nible copies to do, I have no idea whether I'll have the time for it at any point in the relatively near fu |
