With all of this flack about dropping the // line it seems like there
would be one heck of a ruckus if that indeed did happen.  I can't see the
millions of people out there who already own a // just saying, "Oh well,
they don't make them anymore, guess we'll just have to buy a Mac!" :-)
(Atleast, I don't plan on doing it...)

After all, I haven't seen a darn thing in any Apple ][ magazine (of the
few that are there) mentioning the demise of the //.  Look at it from a MacLeak
(I like that...!) point of view-- if all of those millions of Apple // users
get Macs, and decide to get a Mac-based magazine, wouldn't that make a hell of 
a subscription drive? Just a thought... 

At any rate-- it seems the only people who really know what is going to happen
are the only people we aren't hearing from-- Apple.  And if someone from
Apple is out there-- let's hear about it.  As for me-- I stand by my //e
because my //e stands for something.
