At dinner today, another teacher of Apple computer literacy and I wondered
where Apple Computer, Inc would be today if the III and Mac had never been
products.  That is, if the Apple ][ line had continued as the only line of the
company.

Our feeling was that the ][c would have probably been a state of the art
laptop with an internal hard drive and hi-res screen and the ][gs would have
been on a competitive edge with the 386's of today in price and capability.

Any thoughts along this line?  Where do you think the company would be
financially with this single product line?  Technically?  Especially if all
that brain power were producing Apple ][ computers and peripherals.
