I, for one, could care less what processor/memory/io the apple has. I was happy
with my II+ when I got it and I'm happy with my //e now. What I would like to
see is the elimination of the corporate mentality so often found in the
industry. The reason the Apple has lasted so long, (mainly I think), is not
because of the slots inside of the machine but because every nook and cranny
has been explored. Fer instance, The Lam technique (call -144 to input machine
language from basic). Another fer instance, all the work that people like
Don Lancaster have done to provide neat little circuits, etc. If the boys at
Apple don't wake up soon, I fear that that little fruit on the fron of our
machines will shrivell up and turn into the ugly IBM logo.
