As far as I know Boeing is still using  Apollo's in some places. 
They where one of the largest users of Apollo's and had large
amounts of there own software running on them. Most of this
was for Airplane testing and development. This is what 
kept the  Apollo's around for so long.

Someone in the Seattle area had mentioned that they needed a
keyboard for an Apollo.  Just contact me off list.  I still
have a few.
