- Why does Apple need to help us? They're just dropping the IIgs from the
- price due to lack of sales; they're not going to execute Dave, Matt, Andy,
- and Jim!!!!

-
- Procyon, an Apple II software company with extensive operating
- system experience, is in great shape to do just that, as long as you're
- willing to pay for it.

-
- "Confirmed rumor" is an oxymoron. You probably mean, "fact".
- Sure, the IIgs won't be on the price list. They sold seven IIgs'
- last month. So tell me, what the heck is the difference in this
- 'support' you seek, between 7 machines in a month and zero?

- "At Apple, we've"? I didn't know you worked at Apple!?

-
- >What about "Apple II Forever", Matt?
-
- Roy, I hardly think Matt is resonsible for removing the IIgs from
- the price list.
-
- >What about that? Lack of support is one
- >thing, but having our forefathers lie to us is another.
-
- What support would you like? I know Matt and others in DevSupport
- give me great developer support. Do you want Apple to port every
- single Macintosh application to the IIgs? What would be the point?
