Yes, I think this is the most important point of all, and applies as well to the entire
Apple II computer. The
elegant simplicity and sophistication of the design was head and shoulders above the
competition. Which is
why even though Apple wanted to stop making Apple IIs from the time the III was
introduced, nonetheless
they remained in production from 1977-1993. That is testimony to good design.
