	It is true that much of the favorable things about the Apple are
produced other firms. But assuming this will happen on other machines is
incorrect. How many other firms produce 68000 boards for the Osbourne?
Or the DEC Rainbow? Most micro manufacturers do not publish the 
necessary information, or design their machines so that such addition
can not be done. Of the machines out today, only the Apple, IBM PC,
and the S-100 systems have this kind of flexibility. Of these, the
Apple is still the cheapest. Maybe not the most powerful, but still
a good buy for the hobbiest.
