The Apple Blossom Volume 1, Number 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is the premier issue of The Apple Blossom, and was only 4 pages long. However, I was able to cram quite a few stories into that first issue. To read them, click on the story title. Feel free to print and pass these articles around, and if you are in a User Group and would like to reprint articles in your newsletter, please feel free to do so. I only ask that you give me credit, and that you send me a copy of that issue for my archives (and to show off to others!). This was sent out to teachers because, as we all know, the Apple II series of computers has had a long and productive relationship with schools. Our hope with this periodical is to keep you informed about happenings in the Apple II world, and to let you realize that there is still a lot of life left in your computer. This premier issue has articles on AppleWorks 5, DiscQuest, Quick Click Calc and Apple II related periodicals, as well as a brief look at new products for the Apple II, some of which will be reviewed in future issues. If you have any questions, relating to the periodical, or of a technical nature, please send your questions to: Steve Cavanaugh, editor, The Apple Blossom, 1117 Maple St., Wilmington, DE 19805================= While you may not be able to say the name five times fast, this new spreadsheet, currently at version 1.2, from the ByteWorks, will be able to handle your data as quickly as you are able to input it.
