Re: What do you do with an Apple //?

Make no mistake, I LOVE my IIe and IIgs, but something is seriously wrong
with your PC if a 1mhz IIe is "10 times faster". My 133mhz, 32MB Cyrix P166
is at =least= as fast running Word or Excel as my 7mhz IIe is running
Appleworks, and that while running WYSIWYG, auto-correct, and spellcheck in
SVGA. I personally would not choose to use a 1mhz, 128K IIe and Appleworks.
for serious computing.

I'll use my 7mhz, 3MB IIe instead. <g>
