Wow. I'm really surprised by the comments here. The redesign is a great improvement. (And Slashdot already stated that they're still tracking down some bugs, making further tweaks, etc.) The site is cleaner. Easier to read. Easier to navigate. More refined. But from reading the comments here . . . it's all attack, attack, attack. Upset about whitespace? Really?!
In a pinch I've had to exchange files between a vintage 1979 Apple II+ and my MacBook Pro. I found I could span thirty years of desktop evolution by using the Apple's old cassette port and my laptop's copy of QuickTime! Why did I need this? I was working on this very low-fi music video here: http://stewd.io/w/jed I released my Applesoft BASIC source code (which you can download here: http://stewd.io/jed) and this eventually lead to Panic Software using iTunes on an iPad to load the code onto their old Apple//e which they documented here: http://www.panic.com/blog/2010/05/an-apple-e-an-ipad-and-jed/. Thank you audio ports!! It's really made me think about how I archive my files and what my contingencies might be for opening them in another 30 years if need be. Scares me a bit.
