He told him that the people who own the company ought to be given an accurate picture of where their earnings were coming from (the Apple II).” 'VP-001 West of Eden 1989 Merlin 8/16 GS/OS, ProDOS 8, and DOS 3.3 versions of this best-selling assembler in one package.

Personnel from Apple developer tech support will be available to answer your questions. Make the contacts you need! While we're pretty proud of the collection of sessions and panels we're putting together for this conference, we also recognize that the real opportunity for most attendees will be the chance to meet with other publishers and developers. The setting for our conference, a small college campus in deepest, darkest America, lends itself to meeting and talking with other Apple Il people day and night. Classrooms and lounge areas will be available for discus- sions and demonstrations throughout the conference. Compare our sessions, compare our timing, compare our price to Apple's own combined Apple II/Macintosh devel- opers conference (to be held in San Jose the week after AppleFest Boston), and you'll see that the best place to meet the Apple Il people you want to meet this year will be Kansas City. Our conference fee includes all meals (Thursday evening through Sunday morning) and free dormitory accommodations for early registrants. This will be your best chance this year to make the contacts you need to achieve your Apple Il-related goals. Real P. The confere Party, sponso!
