It is ironic considering the Apple ][ was one of the most hacked on computers out there. Right along with the 994a, ZX and c64. Apple is one of the companies that utterly destroyed that pretty cool market segment. I lost one job because one of the first things Jobs did when he came back was stop selling parts/OS to 3rd party. Our entire market software segment was gone in under a month. It was not even directly related to those items. But we were pushing it hard to make the thing more affordable to buy. It is one of the reasons there is not much silicon in silicon valley anymore.
