I have never owned an Apple II/IIe, but I have used one many times. Alot
of nice features for a 64KB computer. I especially enjoyed working with
AppleWorks, and the 80-column feature was very nice.
I am thinking that a market still exists for these machines, probably
more so than in 1991, when they supposedly discontinued it by my
information. How many units did the Apple II/IIe sell over its long
history? I am just curious on this because the Commodore 64 that I own
(and still use,btw) sold a little over 20 million units in its 10 years
in production...I have been told it is the best-selling personal computer
of all time. hmm...
Anyways, I was sorry to see that Apple discontinued it. It was a nice
machine...EXTREMELY reliable.
Regards,
Paul Allen Panks

its time to put our foots down and stop this maniac before he declares his
campaign for the Presidency!
