Only if you are trying to make money. Apple II programmers, at this
point in time, are basically writing stuff as a hobby.
I had this argument with my brothers some months ago. If I sit down
at my IIgs and work on a program in my spare time instead of reading a
book or watching TV, I'm not losing any money by doing so. I would be
using my FREE time to relax by programming instead of some other
activity.
In this case, time is not money, it is enjoyment.
