I think you all missed the mark.  I believe the Apple did not reach
the notority of the other computers is because all the schools had
Apples at the time.  I think that the Apple computer became synonymous
with homework and nobody wanted one in their home.  That, and those
horrible game paddles which made game play awkward.

Just my Twenty-Two cents  :)
