Re: What's to become of the Apple II?

[omar <opualuan@oboe.calpoly.edu>]

what's the point anymore?  it's the apple 2,for god's sakes.  you can
buy microcontrollers for pennies that are equal in power to the apple
IIe.  As far as it being a hobby or a microcontroller, I don't see much
application.  You can get much more powerful setups for controlling
circuits/motors/etc as plug-in cards or break-out boxes for the pc  The
IIe is so alien compared to what we use now, I don't see why you would
want to expose a new generation to such an archaic piece of machinery.
