New menu options

Well, we have finally gotten a pretty good grasp on the merger of the Call-A.P.P.L.E. and the Virtual Apple web sites. The new menu system and 1gb of manuals is now online. We are in the process of adding more but for now, you can try out what we have in store for our users at www.virtualapple.org

Almost there with the Merger

For those of you following this thread, you will hopefully see some changes to the dead links on the current Virtual Apple website menu. We have almost completed all of the new pages that will contain the other Apple resources. These pages have over 100 man hours into them and should contain just about everything the virtual apple hobbyist could ever want.

We should be releasing the new site in about 24 hours and the February issue within a few days after that.

One item of note. the A.P.P.L.E. programming contest has ended and due to the lack of qualifying entries, the winner was decided by default. Unfortunately, the rules were specific about when items could be written, otherwise there would have been more entries I am sure. We will announce the winner of the contest in the February issue although the winner has already been informed of the decision.

Virtual Apple Website now supports FireFox

The Virtual Apple website now supports the firefox browser. This implementation has finally arrived, two months behind schedule, but then I suppose the other projects took precedence. We have also integrated Call-A.P.P.L.E. magazine into the site.

The rest of the A.P.P.L.E. materials will be integrated with the site sometime within the coming days. We have put in a ton of hours to make this one fly and we think that you will like the final product.

Please be patient while we wreck the place good and then bring it back to life.

Call-A.P.P.L.E. and Virtual Apple websites to Merge

We will be merging the Call-A.P.P.L.E. and the Virtual Apple websites in the next couple of weeks. this undertaking will allow us to centralize all of our efforts into one system as well as to provide better support for the Virtual Apple system.

At the same time as the merger, we will also finally integrate the long promised firefox support for the Virtual Apple emulator. The software has been completed for some time, but implementation has been pushed back several times due to software development schedules of other projects.

Stay tuned as the new changes should put the web site at the fore front of vintage Apple computing.
