I’ve seen several postings announcing Flapple Bird, an arcade style game for the Apple II. I looked at the posted video and was intrigued. I downloaded it to my Linux laptop and tried it in AppleWin and liked it. I…

Power Supplies, Next Two Tested
This morning I dug out my other two power bricks. I was going to test them with my simple test. One was still wrapped up in bubble wrap, from when I got it. I plugged in the other one and checked…
Power Supplies, First One Tested
I came to a decision about the testing. I would do it in steps. I touched the power supply to get a feel for its temperature. It felt a little warmer than body temperature, my guess would be 99 to…

ProDOS Program Selectors, Big Red Computer Club, Continued
MENU2 reminds me of AppleWorks, visually. When you run it it draws a file tab across the top of the screen with the prefix on the tab. If you choose a sub-directory it draws another tab under that tab with…
ProDOS Program Selectors, Big Red Computer Club
On MacGUI, I searched for program selector and right near the top was a disk image from Big Red Computer Club (235 ProDOS Menu Programs), full of program selectors, 10 in AppleSoft and one .SYSTEM program. There is one that…
