Sure, but how many more Apple IIs would they have sold if the continued to
promote and produce them?  And don't say people quit buying them!  Apple
quit promoteing them so they could kill them!  Had they advertized and did
a better pricing structure, as they *have* done for the Mac (their profits
per unit are drasticly lower than they mand on any Apple II!).

But that might have killed Mac sales.  Gee, what a loss!  The GS has
always been better, and newer versions would make Mac's look sick!
