Keith, I think you missed something in my message. I did not say that
Apple was not there, after all, I attended most of the tech forums, and
you and I spent time talking..

What I did say was that nowhere at the last Applefest was the "Apple II
forever" saying used, printed, or spoken publicly by Apple personell..

Also D.A.L. (Dave Lyons) in his reply mentioned that even though Apple
has dropped their support of their GSBASIC, that ORCA and TML provide
good basic languages of their own for the GS.. How true, they sure do,
but watch out, within the next few months you will see one of them
jumping feet first out of the Apple II arena and into the MAC only
arena.. The first hint will come when they renounce their online
support for Apple II products, followed slowly by no more Apple II
support...

That will make it TWO DOWN and one to go dropping Apple II support on
GS programming languages... Call it another "vision" if you wish, but
watch it happen...

Add to all of this, the story this week in MACWEEK Magazine and tell me
what the writing on your wall says..
