• nibblemagazine.com...any idea what's up?

    From scott@alfter.diespammersdie.us@21:1/5 to All on Fri Apr 21 03:26:01 2023
    So I was responding to someone on Slashdot about how every issue of Nibble magazine had been scanned in, OCR'd, and made available on DVD. I checked
    the link before posting it:

    https://nibblemagazine.com/

    I expected to find something about the magazine and Nibble Express DVDs for sale. Instead, I found something completely different...follow the link to
    see what I mean. Anyone have any idea what's in the works?

    The difference that punctuation can make...though there's still the question
    of what's going up at the other link, and if it's anything Apple II-related. (How could it not be?)

    Time was, the <meta> tag would help google index you. Not so much any
    more... or, at least, "The Apple Magazine" is far, far too broad. "nibble-magazine" came before I lost interest in paginating the search
    results for "nibblemagazine".
