FST support for HFS isn't definite yet. But that aside, there are many other 
cases where the Apple II has received a new bennie before the Mac types:

	- a computer (Apple II was first!)
	- 800k drives
	- 8 meg addressing space
	- color graphics
	- color toolbox
	- FST support
	- TaskMaster
	- Video overlay card
	- 1:1 interleave floppy read capability
	- a decent OS
	- slots

These are just the ones that come to the top of my head. I'm sure that people
out there can think of many more.
