- Why some people are always eager for the same tired old flame war over
- platforms I will never know.
-
- I did NOT say that "the GS had been dropped." What I said, and let's
- listen carefully, is that Apple has dropped support and development of
- the ][ line, meaning that there would be no further ][ machines from
- apple (gs is the end of the line) and that there would be no further
- software developments from Apple for the ][ line (nor for the 68000-
- based Macs - 68030 is the least). I also said that the ][e and the
- ][gs, until recently still on Apple's price list, are noticeably absent
- from the preliminary Sept "back to school" price list.
-
- Please, folks, your eagerness to start a war over it shows your nervousness
- about the stability of the platform.
