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 a265-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 newCOMPLETE 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.
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:

published from 1980 through 1991... Apple Secrets... Games... Money
Management... Programming Tools... they're all there!

Now you can order the full
12 1/2 years of Nibble... more than 16,000 pages on DVD or CD packed with

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!
