When I bought my Apple II+ ten years ago, I made a choice between Atari, Apple and IBM. I don't see a whole lot of support for the Atari 800 computer or the original IBM PC. Even that big company known for their "support" dropped the PC jr. If Apple is going to support anyone, they have to make money selling computers or charge for support. Would you be willing to pay Apple to support your system?
