Just so everyone knows, I sent oldjohnman@gmail.com the following APDA 
master disks that were once available from Sydicomm at no charge, including 
no charge for postage last week. While I have yet to hear from 
oldjohnman@gmail.com I am assuming he got the disks he needed. These were 
sent via Canada Post Letter Mail:

1. APDA Apple II System Disk Version 4.0.2 (Version 3.2 on back)
2. APDA DOS 3.3 System Master For Apple II, II+, and IIe

I also included the following additional disk which was also available at 
one time from Syndicomm:

3. Apple IIe Telecom Starter Kit (Sydicomm TM) (includes Modem.Mgr, 
Shrinkit...)

4. I also included a COPYIIPLUS disk in my "care package" to 
oldjohnman@gmail.com

Unfortunately, after due consideration, I think it is time to look at a 
distributed model, let's say by year's end. Most of us have the ability to 
make disk copies. We don't need to depend on someone in a foreign country 
who takes orders but doesn't deliver.

I would like to hear from others on this. I have only afew sets of APDA 
disks and Telecom Starter Kits left, and then I will need to start making 
copies to send out instead of originals that I purchased from Sheppy years 
ago, should the need arise again. Since I am not subject to US Fair Use 
guidelines and this likely falls under Fair Dealing I am not really worried 
about sending out copies of anything from Sydicomm, since apparently these 
are restricted to US domestic orders only, which contavenes NAFTA, but it 
saddens me to see this continue to occur.

Just so everyone knows, this time around (see above) I sent original product 
as a "gift" hoping Tony Diaz will eventually realize this isn't working for 
everyone. I must also say that Tony doesn't ignore me so I am bewildered... 
and I am not so stupid as to think there is any money in making disk copies.

Thanks.

I don't think syndicomm is even active anymore. I got a copy of Opus ][ The
Software thanks to this guy. (and I've been using ORCA/C out of it.)

Syndicomm pretty much is dead, don't bother.
