Not so common to see the .za TLD on here, except for posts from Marc Brooker. Is this a South African project?

- armadsen 4y agoapple2.org.za has hosted a ton of useful Apple II content for a long time. I believe the owner of the site is in Joburg. (He is providing hosting for this project, but isn't one of the main contributors, AFAIK.) I've always thought it was interesting that one of the most valuable Apple II sites is in ZA, because I'm not aware of South Africa being a hotbed for Apple II users in general.
- sgt 4y agoThere were quite a few Apple 2's in SA. I'm part of a Vintage Computing club and a lot of the members have them, including everything else like Commodore 64's, Amiga, PC, Macintosh, etc.
- ddingus 4y agoNice to know! I don't seem to hear much from the SA scene. Any sites to check out?
- sgt 4y agoI don't know of many sites - I'm hardly involved at all, more like an observer. I collect mostly Unix stuff. I can think of one site though: http://retro.co.za http://retro.co.za (look at the incredibly small top bar)
- ddingus 4y agoWell, I see 6809 on that toolbar, which makes me happy. Thanks for the link I'll check it out.
- gary_0 4y agoThere's no website at piz.za. I'm so disappointed.
- dhosek 4y agoI remember when I first saw the .za TLD, I thought that it was South Africans using cross-border connections to Zambia (my knowledge of African geography and ISO country codes being both limited) since this was the waning days of Apartheid and it seemed natural that other countries might not be willing to extend internet access to South Africa. I still think of that every time I see the .za TLD.
