I am not happy.  While at lunch today I noticed a new Apple dealer had
sprung up in my area.  Being curious I stopped by.  Not one Apple II
product to be seen.  I spoke with the salesperson and she said that 
they had no plans to sell any II products.  I also asked her about the
rumour that Sears was going to market the II.  She said it was true but
didn't know if it was going to be Sears or possibly Kmart.  She then 
proceeded to tell my that the kind of people who would buy an Apple II
are the same kind of people who would shop at Kmart (old obese ladies
wearing polyester????) as if we were some kind of second class citizens.
I felt like clobbering her, but hey, I'm a gentleman.  :)  
Any way, for what it's worth.......

ps.  I have nothing against Kmart, somethings should be bought there
     because it's cheap.  Maybe it would be a good thing to have Kmart
     market the II but I really didn't appreciate the 2nd class 
     citizen thing.
