The mere fact that you can run simple Java programs on an Apple is exciting. And the Apple can even serve as a devlopment platform for Java programs that run on the small microcontrollers.
I presume you mean the Apple II could serve the role of a "development board" for running small programs, not hosting a development environment--like a Java compiler. Of course, most such programs would use application-specific I/O and human interfaces, so the Apple II may not be a very useful match. -michael NadaNet file server for Apple II computers!
