according to apple confidential 2.0
the gs 2 was relased in sept 86 six months before the first color mac which cost 6 times as much as the gs2 ( that alone is a reason to kil it off )
part of the problem acording to the book was that developers were unwilling to write gs specific code whiel the normal 8bit apple 2 segment was substantially lrger so basically al these nifty hardware specs would go to waste because the software would just not use them another reason not to buy the machine
the biggest problem and stake through the heart of the apple 2 gs was that appel activley discouraged devolpers to develop for the apple 2 and steered themto the macintosh
apple execs believed that continued succes fo the apple 2 would harm the macintosh
managment finally did get its wish though but only through gross malicious neglect did the apple 2 line died on 15 november 1993
the last apple was not a 2ggs but a 2e
