Yeah, this question is really flawed.  I'd hate to slander any model of
Apple II that way.  Maybe the closest thing would be the Apple IIx--the

The closest I can come would be the original Apple ///.  The one that
had reliability problems and had to be slapped around on occasion to
keep it working.
