That's why we see a GS at all. No law forced Apple to produce the GS, just a
couple engineers on their own and management willing to go with the product.
Some installed base outcry really didn't do that much, IMHO. 

This was a few years ago and the times have changed, support is waining,
management is less supportive and the new cash cow is paying halthy dividends.
This is why we see the 1991 version of the GS, an Mac with an Apple IIe
emulator as opposed to the 1987 GS, and Apple II with an Apple IIe emulator. 
(personally I would call them both //c emulators)
