Keith,


	I have enjoyed reading your posts for some time now, but I would like
to make a minor correction. Sales of the Apple II+ *increased* after the 
announcement of the Apple //e. I remember that tha release of the Apple //e
was delayed for several months due to the increased sales of the II+. And
while the same thing might not happen today, it seems a relavant point.
Perhaps if an upgrade path (w/price) was announced at the same time as the
machine was announced, there might not be a large drop in sales.
