- I used to hate with a passion a friends APPLE II+ that he had.
-
- The damn thing did not even have upper and lower case letters without
- some add-on card.
-
- 80 Column cards for the 64 exist and were reasonably priced and they plugged
- in to the expansion port.
-
- As I remember it, when the C64 was released in Canada it cost $895.
-
- A basic model APPLE II+ was $2000.
-
- The later Apple II's are still over-priced underachievers, but like
- anything else, if put in the right hands with the right goals they
- can all be quite usable.
