This missed one of the most badly named applications ever made: "Publish It!" It wasn't bad for an Apple II program, but say the name out loud to see why it's not a surprise that it is lost to history.
- lysace 1y ago;) There was a similarly named program originally known in the UK as Timeworks Publisher. GEM-based though, hmm.
- rbanffy 1y agoIt was a brilliant app for the //e and later machines. Would use extra memory and was unbelievably fast for a 1 MHz CPU. Sadly, its name makes it Google-proof.
- russellbeattie 1y agoIt's surprisingly not that hard to find if you put it in quotes. I just looked now to take a trip down memory lane. I even found images of the original disk! Ready for this: A full-powered desktop publishing system for the IIe which included a custom Mac-like GUI: 140KB. Unbelievable. Additional disks had fonts, clip art and printer drivers. But the main app was insanely small. It really was brilliant.
- rbanffy 1y agoI looked for images in the Internet Archive without success. Those images might need to be uploaded then.
