Juicy apple (color)

JULY 20, 2015 — KANSAS CITY, MO — Juiced.GS, the world’s last remaining and longest-running Apple II print publication, will bust past its two-decade milestone when it publishes its 21st volume in 2016.

“For Juiced.GS to remain in print requires three things: content, writers, and readers,” said editor and publisher Ken Gagne at KansasFest 2015. “And the active Apple II community has all three bases covered. As the hardware and software releases of this week demonstrate, there’s no shortage of content to report on. We have an active and dedicated team of writers. And our subscriber base has grown year-over-year consistently since 2007!”

Juiced.GS will publish four quarterly print issues in 2016 at $19 for customers in the United States, $24 in Canada and Mexico, and $27 for international. Subscriptions and renewals are available immediately.

To ensure Juiced.GS remains representative of its growing and diverse community, the magazine has for the first time openly published its submission guidelines. Any Apple II user is welcome to pitch an article and have their byline featured in an upcoming issue of the magazine, contributing to the news, reviews, interviews, and how-tos for which Juiced.GS is renowned.

Juiced.GS in 2015; more PDFs, CDs, prototypes & indices

JULY 26, 2014 — KANSAS CITY, MO — Juiced.GS, the world’s last remaining and longest-running Apple II print publication, will mark an unprecedented milestone when it publishes its 20th volume in 2015.

“All areas of the Apple II community are enjoying remarkable growth — podcast consumption, hardware and software development, social media, and more,” observed Ken Gagne, editor and publisher of Juiced.GS. “Juiced.GS is no exception: our issues are bursting with submissions and are being mailed to more subscribers than we ever hoped for.”

Juiced.GS will publish four quarterly issues in 2015 at $19 for customers in the United States, $24 in Canada and Mexico, and $27 for international. Subscriptions and renewals are available immediately.

Juiced.GS: The Middle Years BundleWhile new issues of Juiced.GS will be available exclusively in print, the catalog of back issues available in PDF continues to grow. Volumes 7–10, edited by Ryan Suenaga and published by Syndicomm in 2002–2005, can now be purchased as PDFs — marking the first time in 13 years that Juiced.GS has released a previously hardcopy-only product in a digital format. These four volumes can be purchased collectively as The Middle Years Bundle, complementing the Early Years Bundle. Together, these two products represent ten years and 40 issues, or more than half the existing Juiced.GS library. Purchase both and get $20 off — or add the Modern Years Bundle for $40 off the total of all three.

While the Early Years Bundle contains the first six volumes as PDFs, Apple II-compatible GIFs of those same issues are included on the Friends For Life CD, which also holds the contents of the shareware floppy disks originally shipped with Juiced.GS. Friends For Life is now also available as a downloadable, emulator-ready disc image.

As a historical bonus, a Juiced.GS prototype — the proof of concept that Max Jones posted to GEnie in the fall of 1995 — has been adapted to PDF. This draft contains exclusive content not reused in the first hardcopy issue, published two months later, and demonstrates several early design decisions that remain a part of the magazine’s aesthetic to this day. The prototype is available for free in PDF and AppleWorks GS formats.

To improve the discoverability of the Juiced.GS library, the online indices of individual issues have been reformatted, folding in the previously separate “issue links” that referenced online resources relevant to each issue’s content. An index for each volume and issue, as well as for the entirety of Juiced.GS‘s history, is available online and can be downloaded in CSV or XLS format.

Juiced.GS in 2013, wall calendar, and digital back issues

2013 wall calendar

Juiced.GS invites readers to enjoy another year of the longest-running Apple II print publication, with subscriptions now being offered for the magazine’s 18th consecutive year.

“Every issue of Juiced.GS presents me as editor with a wonderful dilemma: choosing which stories will fit into our pages,” says Ken Gagne. “There is so much happening in the Apple II world, from hardware and software to media and events, that we’re never left with blank pages. The only way to cover it all is to continue publishing for another year.”

The 2013 volume’s four issues are available for $19 for United States subscribers, and $27 for international. New this year is a $24 price tier for subscribers in Canada and Mexico, as well as a “lifetime” subscription that creates a recurring, annual payment to Juiced.GS, automatically renewing your subscription for as long as Juiced.GS exists. (Lifetime subscriptions are an experimental feature that will be removed from the store in late September 2012.)

Juiced.GS 2013 calendarRetrocomputing enthusiasts who want more reasons to celebrate the new year can also order a 2013 wall calendar featuring photos and screenshots from the pages of Juiced.GS, many of them seen here in full color for the first time. Its 12 months also feature over a hundred dates of significance to Apple II users, including but not limited to Apple Computer Inc.’s founding to the discontinuation of the Apple IIe; the birthdays of Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs, and Ryan Suenaga; the launch dates of podcasts Open Apple, 1 MHz, and RetroMacCast; and geek dates such as π Day, International Talk Like a Pirate Day, and the premiere of the new Star Trek movie. Calendars cost $15, which includes shipping.

Juiced.GS: The Early Years BundleFinally, for Juiced.GS readers who are as interested in the history of the machine as they are the future, the first 24 issues of Juiced.GS are back in print for the first time in over a decade. These six volumes are available in hardcopy and digital editions, as individual volumes ($16 shipped / $12 downloaded) or a bundle ($84 shipped within the USA / $99 shipped internationally / $64 downloaded).

“Juiced.GS balances looking back at the legacy of the Apple II while covering and anticipating the next major milestone,” says Ken Gagne. “With products that span nearly two decades, Juiced.GS is perfectly positioned to continue serving the community for years to come.”
