Well they're absolutely right about that!  You don't get an Apple II
these days to get any real work done - you get it as a hobby because
you think it's fun.  Or because of nostalgy, if you were around at
the heydays of the Apple II.  Even if you have an application which
best is programmed in assembler and which doesn't need more CPU power
than a 1 MHz 6502 easily can give you, it would still not make sense
(except for entertaining yourself) to implement it on an Apple II.
It would make much more sense to choose a suitable single chip
microcontroller instead.
