IMVHO, Apple II is forever.  But the reality is that, Apple II is really
dead in Hong Kong.  I bought an Enhanced IIe in 1988, and am still
keeping it.  Most of my friends once owned an Apple II, but gradually
turned to a PC.  All I need to do to play a game was just insert the
disk, and switch on.  But what I experienced from my friends was that,
to play a game, DIR/W, perhaps you may find something like PLAY.EXE,
perhaps you may not.  Spending several minutes to start a game, I
decided that I would hate PC forever.

Especially after I experienced Windows when I was using a Mac.

Now I am keeping my old but clean and lovely IIe under my bed.  But I
still wanna buy Mac only which prefixed "LC".  Only Mac LC series let me
install a IIe card.

IMVHO again, I love Apple II and Mac.  But no more Apple II software in
Hong Kong.  I can only read comp.binaries.apple2 and download from some
certain sites.  So please write more Apple II software, not only GS!
