I had an Apple ][+ in 1982 and an Apple ][c in 1984.

Cost less is a relative term depending on application.

They were cheaper than full business model IBM computers (who hadn't much entered into the home computer market) but significantly more expensive than other home offerings such as commodore or (shudder) radio shack.

My username is from playing Thexder on my grandparents' Apple ][gs. I had a lot of fun learning Basic on that computer.
