   I don't know specifically about how Mr. Jobs felt about it, but in general Apple management seemed pretty determined to kill off the Apple II line, while simultaneously trying to wring every last bit of revenue from it that they could. At the time it was the Apple II that was paying the bills, but management only grudgingly allowed a little bit of engineering expenditure on it. The Apple III and Lisa had been their original big hopes for killing the Apple II.

     @brouhaha @mos_8502 @retrotechtive I think it was John Sculley as CEO who killed the 2gs. I remember having a little program for the graphical desktop that showed a picture of Scully, then made gunshot sounds as bullet holes went through the picture.
