Laser wants to sell real computers that real people can afford, and Apple seems to be doing all in it's power to c ompletely alienate the Apple II user. Couldn't they make each other happy by s elling each other some stock, and transferring the II line to Laser? Seems to be the most logical solution. Then Apple could have its much vaunted MAC and L aser could have the coveted II. Everyone should be happy all the way around if Apple keeps the patents. That way they still get their hands on the money and can switch their II factories over to Mac factories, while Laser get 100% compa tibility. _______________________________________________________________________________ I may not speak for everyone, but if I did, the world might be a better place!
