Welcome to Nibble

Great News!
After more than a year, I've been able to re-acquire the domain name: www.nibblemagazine.com !

The site is now configured so that you can reach the site with BOTH www.nibblemagazine.com AND www.nibblemagazine.net So there should no longer be any confusion over domain names. I really appreciate the support you've shown in navigating this problem over the past year!

Mike Harvey, Founder and Publisher of Nibble magazine

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WELCOME! It's hard to believe that more than thirty years after the Apple II came on the scene, there are still enthusiasts gathering the bits and pieces that still linger from the 1980's. But you're here for a reason, to recapture some of the nostalgia, fun and affection that permeated those years of discovery and creativity. And we're here to gladly help you do it.

Nibble was founded in 1980 by Mike Harvey (he personally wrote every program and article in the first four issues) and it was published for more than twelve years. During that time, it helped many readers discover the magic and excitement of the first significant personal computer -- the Apple II. This site explores the history, and the products offered here can bring the entire collection to your library.

WHAT'S NEW -
DOWNLOADABLE NIBBLE PROGRAMS LIBRARY! THE MAJOR PROGRAMS FROM EACH ISSUE!

* I am delighted to announce that Sam Stoddard has outdone himself in developing a 265-PROGRAM NIBBLE PROGRAM LIBRARY covering the major programs in each issue and spanning the entire 12 1/2 years of publication.

* In addition, we have Sam to thank for a new COMPLETE 461-PROGRAM ONE- AND TWO-LINER LIBRARY. He also sent the side 2 disk for Apple Secrets.

* Sam has also provided disk images with versions 1.0 and 2.0 of Key Perfect. We already had version 5.0, so now we have all three versions.

All of these programs -- and many more -- are on the Nibble Disks page.

HIGHLIGHTS

We have an extensive interview with Mike Harvey that was conducted by the Apple II journal, Juiced.GS, in September 2006. You'll find some of the insights about Nibble's origins are interesting reading.

In addition, in the Nibble Editorials pages, we've added some of the more popular "business models" that Mike wrote about in his Editorials through the years. The principles still apply... 25 years later! Check them out.

In the Nibble, Nibble Mac, Nibble Books and PC Hands On sections, you'll discover the fruits of many months of effort to reproduce Nibble and Nibble Mac books and magazines on CD and DVD.

Here are some other highlights:

16 volume Nibble Books Library containing all the books that were published from 1980 through 1991... Apple Secrets... Games... Money Management... Programming Tools... they're all there!
(1980-1992) Nibble Programs Index) in an Excel spreadsheet format. So you download the file and look up specific articles and authors. The Nibble Index is courtesy of Stavros Karatsoridis, and you can get it by clicking the "(1980-1992 Nibble Programs Index" above.
All the Hypercard stacks from Hypertalking Volume II. These were the major stacks that we published in Nibble Mac over the four years it was published.
MindCraft Assembler and Macrosoft User Manuals... Both of these are now available with .DSK images of the programs. See Assmblr/Macrosoft .
A number of Nibble issues have downloadable Nibble Disks .DSK images on this site. They contain the Apple II Program Disks that accompanied issues in 1982 and 1987-1992 as well as a number of Nibble books. They can be run using an Apple II emulator that is also downloadable here.

Now Available

Now you can order the full 12 1/2 years of Nibble... more than 16,000 pages on DVD or CD packed with articles and programs on the Apple II. The library requires 10 CDs and barely fits on one DVD, so that's the reason for the difference in price. Over the many months that I've been scanning the magazines, I've had a lot of encouragement from former subscribers, and it's a delight (and relief) to be able to offer the library at last. We hope you'll enjoy the collection!
