I almost, but not quite, read "Apple II Minus" to mean the original Apple,
which of course wouldn't have been called "Apple I" until there was  a II.

After all, "Plus" suggests better than the Apple II, so "minus" suggests
something lesser than the Apple II.  The only thing lesser from Apple
was the original Apple.
