[comp.sys.apple] // hype

It is interesting to me that there is so much effort being put into blasting
Apple Computer for not supporting the // in ways that // users would like to
see.  I have an Apple //e for home use, which I really love, because it works
for the applications I'm looking for.  If I were Apple, I don't think I would
bother doing a great deal of development on the // line.  It's rather like
Ford Motor Company investing all of it's engineering efforts to work on the
Model T.  This is not knocking what the apple // has been, but I think for the
mainstream user, it's time has passed.  I've seen a Mac //, and I've worked
with a GS, and I think they are still light years apart.  My only hope is that
companys continue to provide hard and software support for the Apple // a
while longer.  Maybe it would still be good for Apple // users if Apple spun
the // line of into another company.  It might sink or swim, but I think it
would be interesting.

yea, yea if you gotta flame, just go ahead,
