o Tony Morales has announced the Hindenburg project. Hindenburg is the code name for a forthcoming, software-based Apple IIgs emulator. Upon completion, virtually all existing Apple IIgs software will run, without modification, on non-Apple II computers. Hindenburg is designed to execute on Macintosh systems equipped with a high-performance 680x0, or a PowerPC-based, microprocessor.
For the latest up-to-date information on the Hindenburg project, please visit the official Hindenburg web site. The URL is as follows:

o I wish everyone a safe and relaxing holiday period. Please take the opportunity during your holidays to write a letter to me. Let me know how you feel about the Apple II section of the club and suggest some topics to be covered in meetings and the magazine. Without your support the Apple II section of the club will vanish.
