If Apple were to spin off the // line, imagine the possibilitys.  I think
there's still a whole market out there that would be interested in buying
//c+'s for say $4-500.  THat would create a lot more interest in software
support.  Look at the Commodore 64, it continues to enjoy software support
even though it is long past it's prime.  I believe the Apple // line is much
like a VW Beetle.  Antiquated, slow, not much power, readily available, could
be inexpensive, and about as much as a person really needs in a home computer.
The Apple //GS is like a superbeetle.  Lots of new, nifty features, but still
an Apple //.
