Ohhhh! I'm following up to my own message. Is this a bad sigh?
Anyway, I'd like to get somethink else off my chest on this thread while
I'm at it. In the line of "You're an idiot!" the somputer system. What
has always got me is those who clame to support the Apple II the go out
an buy a Mac <spit>. Heck, dispite what you may think or say, you casted
a vote with your wallet for what Apple did to the II. Oh, I've heard all
the excuses. "It was just a business decision", etc. Frankly why didn't
Apple sell the rights to the II? Perhaps they felt it was competition.
If so, then the Mac <spit> can't survive on its own merits. Scarry, hu?
After all this Mac <spit> was so great. It had a 32 but processor, much
expandable RAM, it was in some people's view the best technology had to
offer. All aginst the old slow dieing Apple II. Hmmmm? Another thought
might be, Apple would have no buyers. They would have 6 years ago.
Indeed after killing it they killed its marketability to a potential buyer.
Anyway, it was hardly a fair fight. I think it was less of a business
decision at Apple and more of a was lost within Apple.
