I do not want to rain on anybody's parade; damn but I don't like to complain
all the time.

But the Apple//c+ is a joke.

It is too little, too late. As I understand it, Sculley announced that the gs+
will not be unveiled until twelve to eighteen months from now. That's Spring,
1991. By that time, even the fabled 65c832 will not be able to compete with the
comtemporary, 25Mhz or more machines. The gs+ in 1991 will be as behind the
times as the gs is now.

Why does Apple insist on keeping the // in the dark ages? Prototype models of
gs+'s exist that exceed all our expectations, but Apple decides to make a
futile move to help an already doomed model. The c should have been dropped
when the price of one fell below that of a driveless //e.

Besides, the //c is no more than a Laser 128EX with a 3.5 drive. And NO
EXPANSION SLOT!

C'mon Apple! There is no excuse for this kind of ignorance!

Apparently hoping in vain  for a  GS+... (*sigh*)

or insightful or informed people are kind enough to show me the error of my
ways because in the barbecue of life, a mind is a terrible thing to baste.
