Summary: This month on Open Apple, Mike and Quinn sit down with each other and catch up on all the news they’ve been neglecting lately.<br> Mike and Quinn discuss the disappointing 8BitDo controller, get excited about remanufactured printer ribbons, and pretend to know anything about EDD.<br> Follow along as we review <a href="https://mirrors.apple2.org.za/ftp.apple.asimov.net/documentation/magazines/softalk/softalkv1n03nov1980.pdf" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">Softalk volume 1, number 3</a>. The ads are always the best part! Meanwhile, we manage to sneak in one more Kevin Savetz reference, and a Boo Atari in the same breath.
