Apple IIGS's Profile

There are several blatent factual errors: - The Apple IIc was *not* platinum, it was snow white. It also introduced a new design style that was adopted for all future Apple products. By no coincidence, the style was dubbed "Snow White". - The IIc was *not* the last Apple II model. It was followed by the Apple IIGS (a 16-bit Apple II/Mac hybrid with advanced graphics and sound) in September 1986. And later the updated Apple IIc Plus in September 1988. There were also cosmetic updates to the original IIc the IIe between 1986 and 1987. In fact, the Apple II line was not officially retired until November 1993. - The IIc did not ship with a mouse. It was an optional piece, just as the detachable Apple Flat Panel display was (yes, there was an LCD screen for the IIc from Apple, albeit short lived). - The Apple IIGS, Apple IIc Plus and late-model Apple IIe were all platinum colored. - The Apple II was only doomed because Apple management believed in only one product line for its future, and choose the Macintosh. The line evolved with the 16-bit color Mac-like IIGS model but despite its promise, power and popularity, Apple ignored it to the point of death.
