Do you run a small business at home or do you just have hundreds of friends? This program will be a dream come true for you! Enter and save up to 1000 names and addresses. Includes spaces for phone numbers, city, state, ZIP and a special code you assign that makes sorting easier. For instance, assign a code word of GS to all your friends who have a GS computer, then access just those friends in the blink of an eye. I like it! I think you will, too.
FactFile-Europe
by Lee Golden
Requires AppleWorks GS
Going to Europe anytime soon? I know, don't tell me, too many wild kids or no money. I can sympathize. Let's have fun anyway. Check out this AppleWorks GS template and let me know what you think. It has information on all the countries on the continent of Europe.
Option Save
by Tom Hall
Here at work, we keep our "Save Finder Information to Disk" preference turned off. When you have it turned off, you must launch a 16-bit application with the option key down in order to save the changes you make. This is a handy little application that will launch quickly and instantly quit back to the Finder and save the information in the meantime. We think it's a time saver. Maybe you will, too.

by Lee Golden
For those of you who didn't make it to KansasFest this year, I have a special treat for you. In this editorial, I will divulge the myths and realities surrounding the A2-Central Summer Developer Conference. The speeches (by Apple, Inc., Applied Engineering, etc.), the announcements, and the rumors that floated around the conference will be discussed, as well as my humble opinion of the Apple II future.
