Re: Your favourite [Commodore] enemy - the Spectrum, the Atari, the CPC, the Apple 2, or the MSX???

Yeah, that's kinda what I've heard over the years.  Pitty, everyone says
how expandable the Apple II platform is (with it's card slots) but
nothing recently is done or at least heard about it.  Never hear of any
interent related projects, speedup components, GUI OSs, or other modern
technology interfacing/communication developments.  Given it had one of
the better DOSs, tons of high end development tools, and hard drives,
etc., more so than most of the other 6502 systems, it sure seems to be
lagging behind in retro support/represnetation.  :-/
