Message-ID: <1911@ihldt.UUCP> Date: Thu, 25-Aug-83 23:27:57 EDT Article-I.D.: ihldt.1911 Posted: Thu Aug 25 23:27:57 1983 Date-Received: Fri, 26-Aug-83 12:17:08 EDT Organization: BTL Naperville, Il. Lines: 10 Why is it that the Apple computer is so popular? What can it do besides run games? Is it anything more than an expensive desktop calculator (in reference to the spreadsheet programs)? Do small businesses actually use Apple computers for anything useful? How far can you push an Apple before it runs out of gas. (not very far, I would guess) How does Apple's OS compare to CP/M?
