Apple ][/II/2

I _believe_ that the original Apple II, the II+ and the early IIe's were identified as "Apple ][" (at boot), but later IIe's and the IIc were written as "Apple //". And then the GS got written as "Apple IIgs". I typically have always used the "Apple II" because it works for all machines, and looks good in any typeface. The brackets look OK, but are kinda funny when used in file names, and you can't use the // in file names at all, for obvious reasons. Rarely is the Apple II ever referred to as the Apple 2. Or, you could just avoid the whole mess alltogether and call it the "Extremely popular fruit-named company, 1980's market dominating, expandable personal computing system". And most people will know what you're talking about. -Ian
