the user from the intricacies of hardware and a nd software,
so he doesn't ' t have to understand the inside of
the m achine or the inside or the soft wa re in Drei e r
the machine or the inside of the software in order
to to use li se it. 1( .
He also spoke of ora a "vast " dumping ground1' ground" where
a lot of people who buy computers encounter encounlcr so
many m a ny stumbling blocks b to using them (language,
interface, hardware) that they wind wincl up juking j them, lilCITl ,
and said Apple is is working hard to solve this and
other problems p s not only through product p develop­
ment and dealer d support, suppon, but also by encouraging
such vocal forums as the International ti Apple Core.
He H e concluded by saying that he doesn't ' t think
Apple II is a mature lUre product after two years and a indicated that future Apples will maintain compati
tibility,
as opposed to some companies n which have come
out with w new machines which weren't ' t compatible
with earlier versions. He H e said, "If " I f people think
Apple is going to somehow change it's product or o r it's
way of o f doing business, they're wrong."
