There has recently been discussion about whether the Apple II has been selling.
I don't have the latest figures, but an early 1989 issue of an IBM mag had
their top ten list.  The number one model in sales in 1988 was an IBM PS/2
(model 30?) selling 350k units.  Number 2 was the Apple IIGS selling 340k units.
It was very interesting reading the IBM mag's explanation of how something like
that could happen.  The Apple IIe came in at about number 6.  They didn't even
try to explain that. :)
