    Nah, Apple was an amazing company for a while. Iirc they were literally the best bang for your buck by a long shot, which shouldn’t be surprising considering they were literally the first company to make a home computer that didn’t require soldering experience or a kit. At some point they decided to prioritize form over function, however, and started going downhill.

      I’ve never heard that claim before. How is that the case, considering that the Apple I was just a motherboard, and the Apple ][ hit the market six months after the Commodore PET?
