You people who are saying "I will never buy/recommend another Apple product" are doing more damage to the Apple II line than Apple could ever think of doing. No company is going to continue supporting a product if their isn't good user support for it. I Apple isn't going to push the Apple II products, we as users have to. Presumably, we bought these machines because we like them and they fulfill our needs. (If your Apple II isn't doing what you want it to do for you, why did you buy it in the first place?) We have to be the "evangelists" for the computers that we hold so dearly. If you want to complain about Apple's support for the machine, that's one thing, but giving up on the machine will only hasten it's demise.
