To see what an utter bunch of crap this statement is, substitute "GS" with
"Quadra" and "AppleII" with "Mac 128" and conclude that the Mac 128 kept the
Quadras from becoming successes by displaying the same name on the case, and 
that Quadras are not really Macintoshes. After all, a II can run IIgs software
about as well as a 128 can run current Mac software.
