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

I have other, even harsher word for the design of the IBM PC. Oh yes, the Mac sucks bigtime as well, although primarily for legal reasons.

Mac rule they have an awesome GUI (graphical user interface), easy of use it way up there and they have bitchin' software. I know i will regret saying this but: The mac OS is 3 times better than Windows '95 (Eat that Bill!)
