I doubt it. I know one person who is using an emulator and many who use
the Apple II.

: question:  do ppl use Apple2 mostly for games now?

That's a good question. It certainly seems to be true of the emulator
crowd, but those who have a real II as their main (or _a_ main) computer
probably use it for all the things computers are used for. I don't know
how the statistics on this look, but my guess is that word processing is
the main use of computers in terms of the amount of time used, although
the world wide web may have supplanted it as number 1.
