If the name is printed on the machine (as is normally the case), then use
that version! :)
Personally I prefer ][ or //, which are more memorable to me than II (yes,
I know my roman numerals... eg. MCMXCVIII is 1998 and MMVI is 2006. Ok, bit
OTT. Alot of people know roman numerals 1 to 12 from clockfaces, but few
know beyond that... or atleast in my experience that is the case). Do any
other computers use roman numerals, either in the name or for labelling
buttons/switches?

would be more accurate? "Apple ][", "Apple II", or "Apple
2"
