I don't think Apple ][ computers are much used anymore and that is the 
one he was not familiar enough with to know which processor that used.
As I said above that is probably because they were already outdated when 
he started using computers. I think there is absolutely no reason to 
assume he dislikes them. So to be honest I don't see why you react this 
way (I refer to the 3 lines above that I reincluded).
