I do agree that the Apple should sell their CPUs, specifically the apple II 
seiers, through more popular channels like department stores.  Let's face it:  
Most 7/11 clerks know more about computers thah the average 'authorized apple 
dealer' - specifically the apple II series.

Want to make yourself heard?  Call the following number.  It is the weekly 
reader poll by what was formerly Macintosh Business News (Now 'PC news or 
something of that sort) and it asks if apple should retail their computers 
through more open channels.

The number is:     1-800-345-CRNY

Note that this is one of the few smart magazines that gives you a true tool 
free number.  Also remember that this publication goes mostly to resellers, so 
it is likely that the average reader will vote 'NO'.  Let's pop the votes in 
favor of a more reasoanble sales strategy for apple.  Maybe this will help 
bring the apple II back from the dead (considering apple is actively pushing a 
pillow over the apple IIs face, that would be a quite a feat!)
