- Well, sorry to disappoint you and any other Origin fans, but, although it gave
- them their birth, Origin has gone the way of so many other software companies
- and dumped the Apple II line we all love so much. Living here in Origin Land
- (Austin Texas) I have met quite a few people who work there. (Some even
- suggested I apply for a job there, but....) In fact, the guy I bought most of
- my GS stuff from was the last person to put a significant effort towards
- writing the GS version of Ultima VI! I have a number of disks (unfortunately
- erased) that have hand scrawled labels like "Ultima VI Source disk 1" and
- "Ultima VI World Disk", etc. Bummer!
