If you were financally in trouble, and had two automobiles, one old, and one
new, and needed to get money right away, which one would you try and sell to
accomplish this.
No flame intended but, with the current situation of Apple financally, with
the marketshare dropping, and needing to sell whatever bad decisions that they
have made in producing and marketing there product to stay alive in this
market, I can see why they are not spending money advertising the II line.
Lets wait and see what the outcome is of their efforts, then if they succeed
and still don't support the II line, we can preach gloom and doom.  If they
don't succeed in their efforts, the subject will be mute, gone, kapoot, dead.
I would at least like them to stay afloat if nothing else but to be able to
get replacement parts for the many dollars that I have invested in my gs,
as others have in their selections of the II line.
