I'm surprised to see this Press Release out so soon.  There's only 18 days
until April lst!  Come on; they don't even spell Sculley's name right.

Sorry to burst your bubble; but with all the emphasis we've received over the
last few months from Apple Marketing (haha! that's a laugh), I can only
snicker at stuff like this.  Apple hardly mentions the Apple II at all.  It's
like it's some antique machine they're embarrassed to be associated with
(except when it's time to collect the cash from the bank).  Probably the only
press release we'll be seeing is when they finally decide to manufacture the
last one.

Damn.  I wasn't going to be so negative.
