Dave (of the Commodore Company),

It's late, and I really don't feel like repeating everything that you and
Todd Whitesel are bantering about to put a really simple point across in
clarifying something about the Apple II product market.  In 1987, product
sales of the Apple II family grossed over 1 BILLION dollars.  Now, whether
you, Apple, or anyone else wants to realize the fact or not--a billion
dollar cash cow is not something that any NORMAL SANE corporation would
ignore, IMHO.  I truly wish that I had the time to get into the ongoing
conversation a little deeper at this time.  Yet, I think that even you,
a Commodore engineer, would have to admit the idiocy of throwing ANYTHING
away which produced 1 billion dollars in revenues just three years ago.

Todd South
