I'm sure you're talking about my comments about Seven Hills, except you
must have misread them. I never said that Seven Hills was the only ones
supporting the IIGS.

The truth is...many years ago, we used to get thousands of new Apple II
software programs every year. A few years ago, that dwindled to hundreds.
In the last year or so, maybe the new IIGS commercial products number less
than 20 or 30.

The point being is that Seven Hills (and Procyon, Vitesse, Quality,
WestCode) are committed to providing us with high quality Apple IIGS
software. We're talking probably less than 10 or 20 companies that remain
producing stuff for us. They are not involved with the II to get rich. All
those who wanted to get fabulously wealthy already abandoned us. Those who
remain are doing it as a labor of love.

Support those who support you, and if you don't, they just might not be
around next year. Or, to word it another way...flame your friend, and they
ain't gonna be your friend for much longer.
