- I wouldn't even mention this, but you brought it up first. That should be
- ``//c'' not ``][c''. The last apple that used the square brackets in its
- name was the Apple ][+. The correct names are:
-
- Apple ][, Apple ][+, Apple //e, Apple //c, Apple IIGS, Apple IIc Plus.
-
- The "GS" is in small caps, to screw up people who type it in ASCII, and the
- //e later was called the IIe.
