Why would =ANY= company (in its right mind) care to continue to develope
for an obsolete <obsolete in the sense of type of CPU, clock, etc compared to
what it available today> computer such as the Apple // when they can spend the
same amount of money doing more with what is now state-of-the-art??? When
something better than the MAC IIcx comes along for Apple <eventually all must
pass> you'll hear the Mac users screaming just like the Apple // users are
now. =AND= Apple will ignore them then just as Apple is ignoring you now.
=AND= Apple will *STILL* be making BIG $$$$$ hands over fist JUST AS THEY ARE
DOING NOW...... For all its shortcomings in user <singular.. we all know they
crap all over themselves trying to do for user "groups"> relations Apple does
=INDEED= know how to make some money... and that, afterall, is the name of the
game.
