The company DID survive off of the Apple IIe, IIc and IIgs for a long
while. Revenue form those sources was used to develop the Mac and not
the II. The IIs coould drive a Lasewriter, but Apple was publicly
denying it. Jobs wanted the Mac to survive and the II to die. He never
understood that the Mac wasnt making zillions of money from the start.
The II was a machine that sold well until the end.
