   The comp.sys.apple2 FAQ has a bit of a description, but the best is
Steve Weyhrich's Apple II History at http://www.hypermall.com/History/
[Can't believe I didn't have a link to that off my Apple II FAQ page.
That's been fixed.]

   In short, you'll probably find than a basic //e and //c act pretty
much the same. Most schools used IIGSs as faster color //es; that's
about it.
