Well, if Apple (Macintosh) Computer, Inc. decides to axe the last Apple Computer, we could always get them from USSR (Soviet Union). Alias RED Apples, in some Incider mag. I think I have it.... Anyway some people in USSR took an Apple II changed the keyboard to suit the language, changed it's outer case, and changed it's name. All it is, is a desguised Apple II. --- ProLine: aford@pro-mansion | Please Support Apple IIgs.

According to the article, they also changed the character set so that the computer could display cirrilic letters, and not just have them printed on the keys of the keyboard. All of this is done completely ignoring US copywrights. The article observed that the "Red Apple" is the only ][ clone with slots. Erik
