I don't know about that, the Aplle][+ played a pretty good game of "Temple
of Asphai". While I'll agree that the Apple][e and the Apple][c were total
crap, the 2+ was a damn fine machine. It was one of the first sporting
swappable PCB cards and an awesome library of 3rd party software. I never
cared much for the MACS either. And yes I too believe that Steve Jobs is a
"damn psychotic assclown".
