[NTLK] Age of List

[Dennis Swaney]

eWorld (June 1994 to March 1996) came about when Apple realized they had
screwed the pooch by turning their interest in AL-PE over to Quantum
Computer Services (QCS). With 100% ownership, QCS used the AL-PE code base
for AOL, first just for Apple II & Macintosh, then adding a DOS version for
PCs. I've been an AL-PE/AOL member for almost 30 years! Of course, Apple
was at least a day late and a dollar short with eWorld as AOL was too
entrenched by then.

Sincerely,
Dennis B. Swaney
