BC>Sorry, I am new here.

Welcome to the Apple // newsgroup.

BC>I want to ask why so many people still interested in knowing more
BC>about that 48KB+ memory computer while we have a IBM PC (or clone)
BC>which can do much more things?

The bottom line is that we have a functional machine already and we want to do
more with it.

Of course, most of the discussion now assumes the user has at least an Apple
//e w/ 128k.  Apple ][ and ][+ machines are pretty much forgotten (in much the
same way that the "IBM-PC" and "Mac 128" are).

I own an Apple //e (fully packed to the gills) and a couple IBM-type computers 
(a 386dx40 and 486dx33).  I grew up with the Apple // family and I still 
program them.  I don't use my //e as much as I used to (when it was my only 
computer) but there are still some things I can do on my //e that I can't do 
on the PC [and vice versa].
