New markets for Apples.

The new Eastern Europe:

A brand new market for millions of pcs. And  those people are willing
to give all they have for computers of any kind. Apple might reconcider
discontinuing the II, or at least licencing it to some willing partner.
The market over there is not the high-speed market so selling a 
machine quite old would not be a problem. And of course would cost
Apple next to nothing. 

New United Germany:

Amiga probably will play a big role.

Soviet Union:

They tried to build and apple clone, didn't work. They have
mostly hackers machines at home and big machines in institutions.

Hungary:

Ibm clones and Vaxen. 

I don't really know the situation in Poland, Rumania and Czechoslovakia.
But I'm sure they will have growing needs and more and more cash or
at least loans available.
