The smarter move would be to license (not sell) the hardware and source
code to someone interested in continuing the product line...I think a
laptop GS would be just GREAT...naturally feeding a license fee back to
Apple for any unit sold.  Not necessarily the best scenario for us-folks,
but it would enable Apple to reap some benefit from the product (which Big
Beige would like) with a minimal amount of effort (which is probably why
Big Beige gave up on us in the first place).

Just a thought...
