I've been reading all this fuss about Apple's Test Drive program (or
whatever they're calling it this time around), and I thought I'd
let you know about a radio commercial here in Milwaukee, which goes
something like:

Have you thought about the increased productivity an Apple Computer can
mean for your business?  For a limited time, you can try an Apple Computer
free of charge.  Choose between the Apple IIGS, with its graphic and
sound capabilities, or choose one of the Macintosh family of computers
[stuff about the Macs]...

These are not the exact words, so don't go trying to read anything into
them.  The important things that I wanted to point out was that this was
a business store, aimed at businesses, and the Apple IIGS was mentioned
first, before the Macs.  The word 'powerful' was used in conjunction
with some of the Macs, but when you're talking about the IIci, the
word fits.

Just thought I'd throw this into the "Apple is abandoning the II"
discussion.
