Oh please.  What //e owner is going to spend $3000 on an LC, another $200
on the emulator,  when he can go out and buy a complete Amiga 3000 system
or a hell of a powerful '386 for the same price or less? (both with expansion
slots, which the LC doesn't have) And STILL be able to run Apple // programs 
because he has his //e also..
What school districts are going to buy //e's packaged as Macs when they
can get 3 //e packaged as Lasers for the Same price?
Welcome, world, to Apple's Third Great Marketing Blunder.
ANYTHING which increases productivity helps you to be your best, it doesn't
have to have a multi-colored Apple on it. And my next productivity booster
certainly won't (but I'll keep my GS as the epitome of what Apple once was).
