Open Apple show

Summary: <a href="https://www.open-apple.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/weyhrich.jpg" title="The 6502 powers the Apple II with enough processing power left over for Steve Weyhrich's shirt." class="thickbox" data-wpel-link="internal"></a>This month in Open Apple, Mike and Ken chat with Apple II historian Steve Weyhrich about strategies and philosophies for scanning, preserving, and publishing the story of the Apple II. Hardware hacks for the Apple IIc and expansion cards making their KansasFest debut caught our attention this month, as did the American Humanist Association recognizing Steve Wozniak, who earned a musical tribute from Jonathan Mann. Watches, shirts, boxes, and Risk topped our eBay auctions, while games ran the gamut from text adventures to Xbox spiritual successors to IIGS classics, with a few decorative posters thrown in for good measure. In addition to Dr. Steve, former KansasFest logo designer <a href="http://www.christopherlackey.com/" title="Christopher Lackey" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">Chris Lackey</a> makes not one but TWO guest appearances this month!<br> Congratulations to Jeremy Rand, who correctly named the game as Out of this World!
