I'm right there with you on that one. So is most of HN I imagine.

But the Apple ][ really brought the PC home for so many more people than it's competitors purely because of it's relatively simple GUI.

Command prompts scare the average user.

The Apple ][ booted to the commandline, as did the ][+, //e, and //c.

At least the //e could boot to a disk without any interaction with the command line.

I guess that's why I will always be a C=> fan.
