Just reading some old A+ and InCider mags I recently purchased and
they make mention of the fact that the ][GS was outselling the Mac+ _and_
the SE (combined) by December 1987...initial hardware problems had
been straightened out and the machines had begun to flow and there
were few waiting lists of willing buyers whoi were not able to get
their ][GS off the shelf...and this was four years after the Mac had been
released.
