How many times have I heard the reason someone indunlged himself in an
Apple was for the software support?  It seems to me that you would buy
the software for the computer, not the computer for the software....

In principle, this is true.  Like all platitudes ("motherhood is good,
etc.) it confronts cases where it fails.  It would do my wife no good
to buy the IBM PC, no matter how superior it is to the Apple IIe, when
her purpose in having a computer at home is to work with the software
which she uses during the day on the Apple IIe owned by her employer.
