I figure it like this: there are always people who will want to go one-up
on you given any situation.  The Apple II has long had a history of naysayers
doom-casting soothsayers and others who have berated the machine and predicted
its slide into murky obsolescence.  People used to say you couldn't do this
or that on the Apple, like smooth animation and good games and graphics,
or even IBM emulation,
and someone somewhere usually comes up with something to prove them wrong.
Things like Airheart, the PC Transporter, Wings of Fury, etc..
Apples are still going pretty strong for the nonce and it really gets pointless
arguing about when it is going to go over the brink.

If you have a certain system that WORKS for you and you are COMFORTABLE with it
be it an Apple, IBM, Atari, Commodore, or Amiga then you know what is RIGHT
for YOU.  It may not necessarily be the right choice in other people's minds,
but if you're happy with it, that's the only verdict that counts.
