Mike:  Greetings!

I would certainly agree with that.  The Apple II was a great 
learning machine for first-time users.

Eventually I gave away two of my Apple IIs to a high-school in 
Hollister, California to be used in a computer learning lab for 
disadvantaged students.

I almost wish I had kept one of them!
