What is it with people who always make the dollar the bottom line?  I mean,
most computers belong in the hands of people who can use them or the hobbiest
who will *enjoy* using them.  They most certainly do not deserve to be a
museum piece, or in a private collection which slowly collects dust!

And yes, this even goes for the plain ol' Apple II.  Despite all that it
lacks because of its age, it can still be used to learn the basics of high
and low level programming on, and for the pleasure of games.  Worthy uses
for such a significant machine.
