Being named Sergei Gnezdov implies that you are probably Russian. Well, the
closest thing to an Apple II you have probably seen (if you are old enough),
or you can still see (if you are curious enough) is a computer from the
Bulgarian Pravetz 8x line (Pravetz 82, 8M, 8E, 8C, 8A). These are clones of
some of the original Apple 2s. Some do not correspond to actual Apple II
models. For example Pravetz 8M has a 6502 (or the Bulgarian clone CM601 if
I'm not mistaken) and a Z-80. Note that Pravetz 8D is an ORIC Atmos clone
and is not compatible with Apple II.
