What a surprise to find so many helpful and friendly answers on the 
supposedly "dead Usenet". Thanks everybody for taking the time to 
answer! (I envision everybody typing their answers on an Apple II with 
a black & green monitor ... :-) )

The Apple II FAQ looks like precisely what I was looking for. I'll 
plough through it the next few days. Judging from a first look, that's 
what it'll take. I'll also check out all the other links. Thank you for 
sharing!

Yes, but probably in the U.S.? Look, we here in Central Europe lagged 
years behind you, with the exception of the UK, perhaps. When the 
masses took to computers, it was the Commodore 64 they picked. Can't 
blame them, Apple did a lousy marketing job over here. (and would 
continue to do so, way into the 2000's ...)

That's a very kind offer, really! But like I wrote, I'm in Central 
Europe, that's probably a looong way :-)

I'll digest all the valuable info and hope it's OK for me to ask any 
remaining questions after that. Virtual II is installed and I'm looking 
forward to the upcoming weekend :-)

Have a great weekend everybody!
