But the Apple II WAS a toy! Non-detached keyboard, poor placement of reset key, upper-case only, 40-character wide display, odd microprocessor, VERY SMALL capacity floppies (which were very slow as well), as well as a hostile legal situation regarding the building of clones. Hell, they even objected to other companies building boards which plugged into the bus!

I was not a toy it was what started the PC revolution

Grandly ignoring the Altair, the TRS-80 Model I, the IMSAI, et al. Even Jolt!
