Maybe I'm not talking about my Carte Blanche but I'm using it 
(playing with it) almost every day and it's the most fun I've had 
with my Apple IIgs in a long time.  Of course this falls into a 
different category than just using an Apple II since I'm using a PC 
to do the programming.  Still I've learned a lot about my Apple 
hardware wise that I never knew before and I've been using Apple IIs 
of one kind or another since 1980 (literally an old fogie).  Come to 
think of it I wasn't much of a *user* in the past.  I mean I would 
rather write programs that maybe two or three people used than use a 
wordprocessor to write a letter.  Yeah, and I played around with 
writing my own OS.  I also liked cracking the copy protection on 
games better than playing them and my Apples always had a few wires 
and gadgets added to them that weren't supposed to be there :-)

The point I'm getting at is that I use my Apple to have fun.  Always 
have.  So what ever you do with your Apple do it for yourself and 
for fun.
