If Atari and Commodore can stay in business making a healthy product with their low sales, then why would Apple be on the road to ruin. Joe Public, if he wants to get a computer for his home that he wants everyone to use, and so he can do his work, would opt for the Mac LC, with the //e card. Any work he brings home can be used on the Mac, it is low priced enough to afford, plus his wife and kids are able to use it. p.s. I just picked up the Jan MacUser, and they have just spent a half a million dollars on a new testing lab. If a magazine can afford that much money for a lab, there must be a lot of Mac people out there reading their magazine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ryan 'Gozar' Collins ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ o__)\ rlcollins@miavx1.BITNET / ) RC1DSANU@miamiu.acs.muohio.edu / / ____ R.COLLINS1 (On GEnie) /(____/__(_) o)_/ /) [ || ] Atari Computers, "There is no Substitute."
