Incidentally, the //c+ was the finest AppleWorks machine I ever used:

The IIc+ seems pretty thin on the ground though. I had two that I
dumped (and btw, by dumped I mean "sold on eBay with auctions starting
at $0.01"). I guess that was a mistake. But I don't remember the
keyboard feeling very different from the regular IIc's.

Not sure what you mean my "thin on the ground", but the IIc+ is a much
better machine than the IIc in quite a number of ways--speed and 3.5"
drives being only the most prominent.

Many regard them as the best 8-bit Apple II ever made, though I prefer
a //e with an 8MHz Zip Chip, myself.  ;-)

I wish I'd been watching when you "dumped" them.  ;-)
