   made a website and I'm    
   very rusty! (I had learned how to do it myself and I was never really that   
   experienced to begin with). I had to re-learn some HTML code, and I had to   
   look up things that have changed. The website is very basic (pun actually not   
   intended!), but I'm happy    
   with it so far and it gets the job done. I tried to give it kind of a "retro"   
   look to go along with the theme of vintage 8-bit computers.

   input" jack. I made the    
   wav files with C2T. Just insert a blank disk into the Apple II drive, type   
   "LOAD" and play the wav file. The program will be automatically copied onto   
   the disk. Probably most of you are already familiar with the process. Most of   
   the programs have 2    
   versions of the wav files...one that will format the disk first, and another   
   that doesn't format the disk. To be on the safe side, use a BLANK disk! I   
   sometimes had some weird problems with the settings in C2T and I'm not 100   
   percent sure that it won't    
   format the disk!

   is definitely the biggest and most complex program. I wrote a thorough manual   
   that explains    
   everything about the program and how to use it...I definitely recommend   
   reading it!

   Nice!   
      
   It's good to see some new old programs.  :-)
