I bought my Apple //c over six years ago and immediately regretted it. It seems
that the Apple // was dead and that Apple Computer itself was in deep trouble.
However, while I waited for the funeral I used my //c since I couldn't run out
and buy a "real" computer. Six years later the rumours are still flying
( Paul McCartney's got nothing on the // ) and I honestly wouldn't trade my
souped up c for anything on the market. No, that's not a [ insert model ]
slam. It's just a testimonial from a satisfied customer.
