Gasp!
Dave, you mean the educational sources don't advertise or promote
teh Second Sight?...not even Quality Computers?  Well, no wonder
the remaining suppliers of hardware and software for th is machine
have to scratch so hard for sales...there must be a better way....
There are currently 5.8 million computers in use in the schools
in this country, of which 50% are Apple IIs (of all descriptions).
How is this market served today?  (Figures from a I*M and clone
educational magazine...K-12...that's 2.9 million machines needing
s/w, h/w, and service).
Seems there sould be enough of a market there to support a couple
of companies....
So when is the garage sale, again? December 9th? Same place?
May just see you there.

Tom
