I don't know. I wasn't into Apples "back in the days", for one they were 
too darn expensive over here in Europe. I was a Commodore person, and to 
be frank I though the Apples we had in our school really sucked. Mostly 
because we never ran anything but boring software on them I guess, and 
those green-screen monitors hurt your eyes.

I've only come into contact with the Apple II through the backdoor of 
Ultima fandom - after buying a couple of old Apple Ultimas to be exact; 
I just wanted to run them.
