What do you mean, "death of the Apple II family"?  You mean I can't use my
unenhanced //e anymore?  (Grooooaan.)  Aw-shucks, just the other day I booted
up Applewriter //e and it worked *perfectly*.  And my terminal emulator still
worked, at least the last time I tried it last week.  And there were so many
programs I always intended to write (in Pascal yet) but never got around to.
Now I'll have to go out and buy a new machine, and learn a yet another word-
processor and another OS.  And maybe I'll *never* get those programs written.
I never could get the hang of this planned obsolescence anyway.  Seemed like
such a waste.  Oh well, if that's the way "they" want it...
