I'm not sure either... I am not too familiar with the accounting
packages from the day, but the video makes it look legit.

no clue

seller mentions 144k disk, and yea we make mistakes

the screenshot is almost too perfect as far as flatness and gloss, but does have appropriate pixel fuzz

guess one of us needs to buy it and see whats up, though I have no interest in doing accounting on an apple2, can hardly stand it in excel 2010

He calls it an accounting system, but it is really no more than a cheque balancing (I would not even call it a spreadsheet) program. With the menu options at the bottom, all can easily be done in applesoft. Little pricy for what it can do. Does not require a lot of programming experience.

Might have meant 143K, as in standard 5.25" format.

The screenshot is from Virtual II emulator, as suggested by his remark in
the description.

The "pixel fuzz" is an artifact of lossy JPEG compression.

They are actually 140K as in; 143,360 / 1024 bytes.

True, but I meant 143K as a shorthand for 143,000 bytes. Just an
approximation.

If you want to split hairs, my dear fellow... :-)
