I spent nearly an hour looking through messages to and from John Sculley
on Compu$erve.  Most of the messages to John could have been written by
members of our list.  Almost all went unanswered;  the few answers from
Sculley (or his ghostwriter) were standard pablum which, between the
lines, seemed to indicate that is no hope that Apple will ever give any
decent amount of support to the Apple II line.

Sculley made it quite clear that Apple will never again sell a
stand alone Apple II.  And we all know that, if no new models are ever
introduced, it's just a matter of time before the promised support and
enhancements vanish, as well as any hope of new software.

In two and a half years, my daughter will be going off to college and my
family will need at least one new computer.  I hope there's some
company, somewhere, producing an exciting, affordable, useful computer
at that time.
