Lately I have noticed where people treat the original Mac II as a dead
machine.  Is this really valid?  Just because apple does not produce it
anymore, does not at all effect it's usefullness.  I can remember when 
the II first came out, people were saying "Man, what will I do with all
this power?".  So apple comes out with a quicker machine and now every-
one treats the II as long gone.  Consider the improvements of the cx and
x.  Granted these new machines are a bit faster, modular ( cx ), etc. but
is this enough to go out and buy one if you already own the good old II?
Granted, I am an owner of a II, but I am also one who needs a lot of power
as I am interested in animation.  I will be upgrading in the future of 
course, but does the II deserve all the bad press?  There are people out
there using the old apple II's.  I think before we all go writing this 
machine off, we should first consider it's usefullness and put it where
it will be used.
