I agree that you need the complete set.  I just have a hard time
defining what a complete set is.  I keep thinking I am close to having
everything, but then I find out there is more to get.

I now have a least one of each of the following:
Apple II+
Apple //e unenhanced
Apple //e enhanced
Apple //e platinum
Apple //c
Apple //c+
Apple IIgs ROM1
Apple IIgs ROM3

If I could find an original Apple II for a reasonable price, I would
have a complete set.  Or would I?

I guess there is also the Bell & Howell II+.  And I don't have a IIgs
with the Woz case.  Oh, and what about a //e->IIgs upgrade.  Not to
mention various international versions.  I am sure I have missed a
few.

Well, I am pretty happy with what I have.  I spend the most time with
my II+.  It is the machine I used the most when it was new.  The ROM3
I also use a fair amount.  The others are rarely turned on.  But it
feels good knowing they are there.

I still have my first Apple II+ that I bought when I was in high
school in 1980.  Unfortunately it isn't in working order right now. 
Some day I want to fix it.  I have a spare motherboard that I can use
for parts, but I haven't been able to find much technical information
to know where to start.  It is one of those projects that I have been
thinking about doing for years now...

Ok, I will stop my rambling.
