I used those at school and liked them a lot but, I guess like the Apple II, nobody would have bought one for their home because they were expensive and sold mostly through education channels.
In the 80s they generally switched to BBC Micros, which were affordable enough that some better-off families had their own.
So I can see it being a regional thing that I never used an Apple II -- they didn't appear in schools in the UK -- but I wonder about other countries besides the US. Was the Apple all that widespread anywhere else?
