Sorry, show 0004 will be delayed as I just have too much going on right now; I’m hoping it’ll be ready “soon” meaning within a week, but we’ll see. My apologies…

Welcome to show 0002!
1 MHz! beat A2Unplugged out the door (by several months at that) to be the world’s first Apple II Podcast. Sorry, Carrington. Great listener comments in email from Allan, Kim, Bobby, and Mike, and a voicemail from Colin. Thanks everyone. Bobby wanted to know if an interview with “old skool” (sic) Apple II programming Gods like Burger Bill Heineman might be possible. Anything’s possible with an Apple II, of course!
PC World magazine named their 25 Greatest PCs of All Time in honor of the 25th anniversary of the IBM PC… guess who’s number one.
Eric “Sheppy” Shepherd has been hard at work on updating Sweet16 for Mac OS X, and his company, Syndicomm, has cut prices on two of their magazine compilation CD-ROMs, Simply Softdisk G-S and Softdisk Supreme.
The main topic of this episode is a review of the Complete Nibble Library on DVD. Check out the other Nibble products also at their Web site.
Seeya all in two weeks!

Well, so much for calling A2Unplugged the world’s first and only Apple II Podcast. Just tonight I learned via the good folk at A2Central.com of the existence of 1 MHz!, which really is the world’s first (no longer only) Apple II Podcast. Sorry about that…

Okay, I tried one last time. It’s a small improvement in audio quality, but still an improvement. I give up for this episode and promise to better next time…
