>BTW-I agree with the comments about not reccomending Apple II's.

I concur, if we are talking about new Apple ][gs's for the AVERAGE person,
whoever that may be.

However, there are a dirth of used Apple ][e's and c's available all over the
country.  You see them each day advertised in the classifieds as people either
decide they need something else or don't know what to do with them.

Here is the source for the next generation of inexpensive computing.  They
still do word processing (etal with Appleworks) very well and with appropriate
software can do more esoteric things.

If one just has to purchase new, then I recommend the Laser 128; at 2/3 to 1/2
the price of a new Apple ][, they go Apple, Inc one better.

I mean, would you rush out to purchase a new gs these days no matter what
Apple, Inc dreamed up? Not me, unless it was under $1000, had VGA quality
color and at least a 40mb hard drive....ha! Fat Chance.
