This is actually in reply to some of the other posts about the //c+ I have
seen lately. Mr. Whitesels post didn't sound like blind criticism but a
constructive suggestion, one which I agree with heartily.
I would like to see Apple ship the //c+ with at least 256k of memory but
other than that I have a hard time thinking of any way of improving on it.
Even with 128k it's a great Appleworks machine due to the built in 800k 
drive. Our Users Group had members who bought the c+ and I've yet to hear
one complaint. Once people actually take a look at the machine they start
to appreciate it. I think the systems biggest drawback is the lack of 
"push" it gets from dealers, etc. This is only sensible since why would
a dealer sell a complete "working" system for $600.00 when you can get
a couple of grand for one that's sure to have people coming back for more
add-ons and upgrades just to get it to work.
