[no subject]

Macintosh machines are very reliable, and remain useful for much longer
than equivalent Windows machines, so we expect that our customers will
continue to use Macintosh systems for a long time. However, since most
software sales are for new computers, older Macintosh systems do not
constitute a significant market.

Our customers need high-performance machines. The clone makers provided
an alternative to Apple in that niche. It appears that when Apple ended
the clone market, Apple also convinced our customers that they should
find an alternative to the Macintosh.

    Incidentally, once on the subject of Apple's (IMO) probable
demise, has anyone made a backup of all the information files 
on the Apple Tech Info Library? There's probably hundreds of 
very useful files on the Apple II and Apple III in there, some 
things I've not seen documented elsewhere. An archive of all 
the Apple II tech notes should be made too, as well as clean
copies of all System Software.
