- And what world are you living in? The reason Apple would never sell the
- rights to the II is because they're Apple. Apple is slowly realizing that
- the II is a dead end, and the only reason they are still producing them is
- for the educational market. Because schools can't afford to upgrade (at
- least the ones in rural communities), they are stuck with their IIs. Here
- at Miami, everyone I talk to had mostly IBMs, and some had Macs in school.
- My school had several IIs for students and teachers to use, but for class
- instruction they had a lab of Acorns. (Which were really nice, I was amazed
- at the capabilities back in '85).
-
- Does anyone know the actual sales figure of IIs for the past year? (And not
- some number that you think is right!! :-)
