Don't turn to Apple

[avsystem@rain.org (Adrian Vance)]

   If you need any help on an Apple II matter, don't bother with the 
Apple Computer Company.  They will only give you insults and try to make 
you feel like an idiot for not having bought a Mac.

   On November 1 we will "celebrate" the second anniversary of the 
closure of the Apple II production line.  This action was taken 19 days 
after a letter from Mike Spindler's assistant said, "We intend to serve 
the Apple II market for a long time to come." in response to my October 1 
letter asking about the pending line closure rumors I was hearing from 
many people.

   The nation's schools are thought to have invested up to nine billion 
dollars for Apple II software and when they developed the GS many of us 
thought they had not only invented the perfect educational computer, but 
one that would permit the schools to run both new and old titles on the 
same machine, give the developers a place to do with new higher quality 
programming and CD ROMS, but then Apple raised the price of the GS higher 
than that of the monocrhome Macs, which the school hated, and that is 
when the movement started toward IBM and its clones.  Now they have half 
the new computer purchases and if it were not for the confusion generated 
by Windows(tm) 95, and its heavy hardware requirements, the Macs would be 
losing increasingly to IBM and the clones.  

   Who knows where it will all end?
