We want your input on all of our software projects, as well as your 
suggestions for enhancements you want to see included.  We welcome any
suggestions for improvements and would like to hear from you concerning
any other programs for the Apple II series and the Apple IIgs that you
would like to see developed, enhanced, rewritten, or improved for your
use.

We believe the Apple II series and the Apple IIgs has a long and
exciting future.  Our motivation and purpose is to bring you quality,
user-friendly software to make your computing efforts easy, fun, and
rewarding.  We have a great many other innovative and exciting ideas for
software, CDA's, NDA's, modem, CAD, computer-based Virtual Reality, 
educational and entertainment games, and so on for the Apple II series and
Apple IIgs.  Let us know what you would like to see us develop and we will
give it our best! 

As a collective group based around the world, our objectives are to
collectively develop useful user-friendly software for you to enjoy.
We also want to inject a few bits of international love and world cooperation
for the benefit of the Apple II computer and all of the users that love
their Apple II computer and enjoy using them for their many wide ranged
applications.  We've always felt that the Apple II computers had a little
humanism mixed in with the circuits that make them work.   Our coordinator,
Dr. Tom, has a unique set of talents to bring people together for the
common good of all, using simple yet effective methods.  His philosophy
is social in nature, in that he believes that if you share your knowledge
and talents unselfishly for the best interests of the whole, good results
and even MIRACLES will happen!

As a collective group we invite you to input your contributions, talents,
and knowledge to make our efforts and our results more rewarding for the
entire Apple II world.

We wish to express our sincere thanks to our Conceptors and Grand Wizards,
Glen Bredon and Roger Wagner (the programmer and publisher of Merlin 16+)
who are responsible for a lot more than they can ever realize.  If it were
not for them, we would not exist as we do, nor could we have done the things
we did in the past or hope to do the things we plan to do in the future for
the Apple II computers and its users.

Love your Apple II forever and it will love you forever.  The best is yet
to come.
