I know not of the whole world, but I will supply a data point from
my own experience. We have 3 LaserWriters, 1 LaserWriter-Plus, and 1
LaserWriter-IINT. As far as Macintosh CPUs go, we have (the counts may be
off a little bit, and I'm including 3 IIcx's that are currently on order)
12 Plusses and 4 II's, plus another 4 or 5 Plusses that people have at
home. I know of 1 512 (which I believe actually started off life as a 128)
which is currently used only by one faculty member's 3-year old son.
So, based on that very limited sample, I would say that 128s are
essentially obsolete but that LW classics are still very much useful
machines.
