    Ah, I'm glad someone asked that question.  The reason is simple: Apple
Records Corp. sued Apple Computer, Inc., saying that the latter's name was
to similar to theirs.  So, Apple Computer agreed no to build another
machine with fantastic (whatever that means) music capabilities.  The Apple
IIGS had already been built and marketed (if you'll excuse the word) by
then.  Therefore, Apple Computer has not built a anohter musical computer
since then, to avoid being sued by Apple Records.  Looks like they got a
taste of their own medicine. :)
