<Whole bunch of stuff about selling IIgs' deleted>

A lot of people are getting some pretty warped ideas. I've some similar trends
on some local bulletin boards. Phrases such as "Oh I <think> Apple might be
not making the //e anymore so I'm going to go buy an IBM." I took a Logic
class once, and somehow that has to be fallacious argument. For example,
I own a Buick Century; Buick quit making it but I didn't go buy a Ford
the next day. The car fit my needs. It does what I want it to do. Just
like my Apple II. These people used there Apple up until they heard a
rumor, so they must have been using the computer until then, so why is it
that it suddenly does't do what you need as soon as you hear a <rumor>.
This doesn't make a d*mn bit of sense! I've never seen a bigger bunch of
wimps in my life. If the II never did fit your needs, then why did you
have it this long? Otherwise, why does it suddenly not fit your needs?
Just remember, a large number of these <rumors> come from Mac users who
don't want Apple spending money on the II.
