I agree with Bob that the future of the Apple II lies with third party
developers. Third party developers has kept the Apple II alive for
many years compared to something like the Mac 128K or the Mac 512K
which just died. I really wander what happened to those Mac users...
Splitting Apple will have the benefit that both divisions will no
longer compete for funds in certain areas such as marketing,
development etc. If the money going into the Apple II was based on
actual sales, there would be some impressive breakthroughs. We all
know that Apple technicians are very capable of people if given the
right environment. System 5 is an amazing feat since I thought that it could
not be done without hardware.
