Even among Apple (excuse me, Macintosh) dealers, the Apple II comes in just behind a toaster in capability. These demos will wake some people up. Just last night someone walked into my room and said, "Wow, is that the new Mac II?" "No, it's an Apple II." "I didn't think it could do anything like THAT!" If you haven't done so already, take their demos down to your local Apple dealer and show them. Then talk to them about what software they should be stocking on their shelves. Several dealers have told me that while the LC is nice, but they need something much less expensive. The GS fits the bill, with the proper software. " I was actually considering doing that, taking in FTA demos into dealerships, but I've got this eerie feeling that they won't allow it on their machines because they're scared of a "virus" or something. I'll have to consider doing that this weekend, though! | ProLine.: llee@gnh-starport | This isn't a "blood for oil" deal. | | UUCP....: crash!gnh-starport!llee | This is "blood to keep some damn | | InterNet: llee@gnh-starport.cts.com | madman from doing things that | | AO .....: Please hold... | aren't hip in the world anymore." | | | And there hasn't been much blood. |
