What was the golden age of the Apple II? What constituted its heyday, and how long did it last -- assuming it's already over, or has even happened? Jason Scott will moderate this panel consisting of Bob Bishop (Apple Computer Inc.), Steve Weyhrich (Apple II History), and Geoff Weiss ( Juiced.GS ). 1445-1530 CH Session - Using disk images on the Apple IIgs - Geoff Weiss Over the past few years, there have been developments which allow greater support of disk images on the IIgs.
