Softape

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Softape is a defunct software company that published computer games, utilities and productivity programs for the Apple II family of computers in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It was co-founded by William Smith, Bill Depew and Gary Koffler.

Softape's Software Exchange newsletter, Softalk, was taken over by Margot Comstock and Al Tommervik in 1980 and re-designed into the Apple II enthusiast magazine Softalk.[citation needed]
