Re: How will the Apple II survive?
Today, Apple Computer sells less than 1 million Macintosh computers a
year, and global market share below 3%. It was the Apple II that kept the
company afloat throughout the 1980s, especially in education and home
marketplaces, as Macintosh were slower to catch on in those sectors, even
now. It proves that the marketing is still wrong, most people consider a
Macintosh as expensive high-end computer and low-priced one as somewhat
inadequent, incomparision to fully-fledged PC. If Apple II carried on, it
may have become a better challenger to M$ dominated PC monopoly.
M$ has done more harm to the industry than good, and Mr. Gates is
unworthy for a Knighthood from British Queen for services to business.
