- Yes that's true. It probably goes towards paying the bills. There are few
- new AppleII() users. They don't need as much hardware as someone just
- starting. I believe they simply stopped supporting the Amiga completely.

- Because they are trying to get Mac business. If it takes that for them to
- keep supporting the AppleII(), then why not. On the other hand, should
- a competitor come along with better products (eg. Econ, Zip) then I would
- imagine people would buy from them.
-
- I've had several AE products. I can't say anything one way or another about
- them. I do think they put the fan in the Conserver in the wrong place!
