     Probably, the main value comes under the heading "II Propaganda". A
similar case seems to be the PBS piece aired recently. When people are
talking about the "Apple II" it does, at least, make Apple II stuff more
valuable and more interesting to more people.

     It is curious that items like Tiger and the PBS program have begun to
crop up now. What, one wonders, will be the next event which exposes the
computer buying public to the Apple II?
