Good for you Andre.  The Apple II is a fascinating Machine and for those who
do small databases and small letter writing projects.  I've been playing
with The Apple II since 1982.  Admittantly I'm using a IIgs but every so
often I fire up my original II which I made into a II+ and later into a IIe.

I never enhanced my IIe but still own it and have respect for it's
capabilities.  Others ask me especially in the I*M world "just when Norman
are you going to get a real Computer?"  Well I have a real computer and and
I enjoy it.  I hope they enjoy theirs as much as I do mine.

If the Apple II does what you want it to do stay with it. If you need help
here is where you ask.  There is a lot of knowledge in this echo.  Remember
my motto the only dumb questions are ones that are never asked and 2nd like
unto the first if you already know the answer why ask?
