Market...as I said before, the Commodore 64 niche now occupied by
the GeoBook, etc.

Investors...as I recall, Jobs was running around looking for money.

Product...the Apple II (in this case, the IIGS)...once you got the rights,
you can repackage the deal like the GeoBook is basically an XT!

I'm not saying I agree it can be easily done (buying the IIGS), but at
least we shouldn't knock it.
