Yeah, someone in Germany took over the IP and support quite a while back (~2000?) and released a couple of updates fixing a couple of bugs. I'm not sure if it's stil available that way, but the pages are still there. I never quite got to the point of trying to buy a new copy from him though.

Nice! Yeah, sorry, my non-alt persona is buried in work and I haven't been regularly watching the socials. But, thanks for pointing the article out! Never heard of the console before, but very cool that it is now possible for new people to discover it and try it.

Going back to look at the auction you linked, apparently the binder was re-used. The actual Apple Retail Advertising Program contents are what I have in that binder. The seller on that auction seems to have re-used the binder for other stuff, largely service manuals.

It's pretty interesting. Guidance on ads and how to make effective ones. Generally a program where Apple shares the advertising cost for local advertisers. Comes with handy clip art too.
