This is the cloud storage site for Apple-Q (members only). It not only contains all of the contents of the Apple-Q-Core site but also many other files and items of interest to members (eg. Apple-Q Rules, Minutes, history, Apple-Bug Archival Copies, etc). When you log into this site you are automatically logged into it as well.

Why Abyss?

Prior to the internet taking off, computer groups provided “bulletin board systems” that gave members access to forums and file downloads. A limitation was that only one user’s computer could access the bulletin board at a time.

Apple-Q’s bulletin board system was called Abyss. With the rise of the internet, the bulletin board was replaced by this Abyss members only area. This Abyss can expand to offer far more features than the original bulletin board system.

In future, we plan to add more features to Abyss. What would you like to see here?
