Resource Central

Resource Central was an Apple II publishing house in Overland Park, Kansas. It was founded by former Softalk columnist and Beagle Bros software author Tom Weishaar. Publications included:

*Open-Apple: the flagship newsletter, published monthly. Edited by Tom Weishaar, Dennis Doms, Ellen Rosenberg.
*A2-Central: Open-Apple was eventually renamed A2-Central to avoid trademark infringement with Apple Computer.
*A2-Central On Disk: a disk based version of the newsletter, with supplemental materials to help blind users read the magazine, as well as selected shareware and freeware. Edited by Dean Esmay.
*Script-Central: a publication devoted to Apple's then-popular Hypercard product. Edited by Bruce "HangTime" Caplin and Bo Monroe.
*Studio-City: a publication devoted to the HyperStudio hypermedia product. Edited by Dean Esmay and Bo Monroe.
*HyperActive: a multimedia arts publication

Resource Central also founded the long-running KFest conference and expo. Originally called the A2-Central Summer Conference and immediately dubbed "KansasFest" by attendees (combining the name of the other major Apple II event of the time, the AppleFest expo, with Resource Central's location in suburban Kansas City), KFest is still held annually. http://www.kfest.org/

Resource Central went out of business in the early 1990s.
