Apple II's just need to outlive all of those "other" platforms.  We
already have an advantage from all of the surplus machines cast off by
the education industry.  Now all we need is a climate controlled bunker
in northern Canada to stash our machines once we kick the bucket.  500
years from now, when nothern Canada will be a tropical paradise, we'll
have prettier piles of plastic, metal & fiberglass dust than anyone
else.  We'll show those rat bastard commies then!   :-P
