Again, I like Apple and their products. And again, the capabilities of the
MicroChannel and MultiFinder are not what I am suggesting the Apple II should
compete against. Let those technologies compete against each other, at $12,000
a pop. 

Me, I'm interested in what a machine can do for us, all of us. Give me a
low-cost machine with matching abilities, and I'll find you worthy uses for
half a dozen such units in your own home. Not at $12,000 each, not even at
$2,000 each. At $350 each, or less, which is what I was talking about in my
post (which has my mailbox up to 78 letters as of this evening).

Maturity is accepting the fact that you've made a breakthrough, and having the
stick-to-it-iveness to live up to the promise of your accomplishment. Not
engineering workstations, tools.
