Why? Because it's the first new Apple ][ based

80's. It's based on the stuff of legends...I'm sure somewhere inside it
has traces of Woz. It wasn't meant to be useful as an Apple ][. It's
meant to be a toy for kids to learn about computers on. This could be
any old toy with any old CPU like the many that are out there, but it's
not. It's based on an Apple //e and, if you *can* get the programs on
it, will run any apple // software. For something that's meant as a toy,
that's pretty cool.
So I guess this means I'll have to figure out a way to stuff LDOS into a
ROM and do the same trick with a TRS-80 clone.
