I had a C64 as well and recall now that my friends with Apple IIs were all pretty well-off. This went completely over my head at the time.

Purely incidentally, my C64 floppy drive's case was cracked because the family acquaintance we got it from had found a broken drive second-hand, bought a new one at Toys R Us, swapped the internals and returned the one with bad guts to the store.
