   Clue for those who are so brainwashed they can only try and defend
Apple at every step: the //e was NOT the pentultimate machine in the
Apple II line. Most of the power Apple II users had something more
powerful than a 128K //e at the time, and didn't want to downgrade.

   Stop the insane excuses, there was no *GOOD* upgrade path from the
Apple II line to the Mac, and you know it. What pitiful excuses for an
upgrade Apple doled out do NOT cut it in the real world.

   Up until about August 1986, maybe. However, a //e in 1990 was far
too little, far too late. You can remove your lips from the behind of
Macintosh Computers, Inc anytime, you know, and your credibility will
certainly go up.
