   This may sound crazy, but how about creating a "new" Apple II, with
updated components, with open source firmware and operating system.  We can
lure the hacker community from Linux back to Apple where they belong !
   Ten years ago I wrote a letter to Volkswagen imploring them to
manufacture an up-dated Beetle.  Some people thought that was crazy.  I
think I was proven right on that one . . ..

I hope that someone does this, but I'm sure that the current Apple wouldn't
allow it.
