Gill Although the company has officially denied it, some industry analysts and former Apple Computer Inc. employees said the Cupertino, Calif., personal computer (PC) maker plans to abandon its Apple III and Lisa II models in favor of the newer Macintosh and IIc computers." "... Omri Serlin, president of ITOM International Inc., a Los Altos, Calif., market research firm, ... contends that from all indications the life of Lisa II is likely to be a brief one. Serlin also noted that Apple is only shipping about 2,000 Lisa units per month, which makes its contribution to revenues at the $1 billion firm virtually negligible." Any one want to comment on this?
