        I'm not saying that in the past that Apple has crippled
intentionally the II line, but I'm saying that they are subconsciously
trying to  phase out the II in favor of the Mac. Keep in mind that any
major Apple hardware is now designed specifically for the Macintosh, and
the Apple II is a lucky beneficiary of those products. Apple at least had
the good sense to use the same connectors and the SCSI interface on the
IIgs and the Mac.

        But it IS true...Apple would never create a GS that would
outperform a Macintosh. That simply would not make good business sense to
them, and would represent a step backwards for them (in their minds).
