No doubt about it -- Apple executives have on more than one recent occasion said that they see the Apple II market as "education" and the Macintosh market as "business". Note that they don't seem to consider the personal computer market worthwhile. I read yesterday that Sculley said Apple is considering selling Apple IIGSes to the Soviet Union, because they could meet the Soviet Union's educational needs without delivering critical interesting technology to them (the implication was that the Mac has good stuff in it but the IIGS doesn't). What turkeys.
