The point is that a GS is not an AppleII. I simply said that the character
of the GS did and does not fit in with the AppleII, and it was hurt in the
past by association. That does not make the AppleII less useful. It 
survived the GS...The GS never reached its potential because people kept
thinking of it as an AppleII.
 
So, no reduction for the AppleII. But simply a definition for the GS.
