Feel Sorry For Apple II?



Feel Sorry For Apple II?

    I realize that Apple II software and programming will cease to exist
near the future since it was very popular.  It looks like that Apple II
programmers and designers are forced to move to use Intel so they can begin
to program and design software on x86 machine.
    Please provide your opinion what you think is best to use software on
x86 rather than Apple II.  Is 680xx (32 Bits) better than 65816?  Is PowerPC
better than 680xx?  Is Intel better than both 680xx and PowerPC?
    In my opinion, Intel is better for popular software, but Macintosh is
better for graphic design.  I don't want to make 65816 - Apple IIgs think
that we have already left them.
    With a new project, it may be possible to add 680xx (32 Bits) Opcode
Instructions into 65816 that 65816 has never had one before.  Both 65816 and
680xx can be mixed together to design into 65832 project.  All Apple II
software will be running through multi-threading like GNO/ME 2.0.
    What do you think?

    For David Empson -- Please feel free to answer my questions with your
ideas about the microprocessor of 65816 and 680xx.  I like your answers with
your knowledge very much.  I appreciate this.

    To keep Apple II in existence forever....
