And what about the base, 4K Apple II configuration? What did anyone manage
to accomplish with a 4K machine? No HI-RES graphics, for sure! Anyone here ever use a 4K Apple?
I saw a revision 0 on eBay last week, probably the same one that many others saw. And I noticed it didn't have the whole 48K installed. It was a 16K machine. I also noticed, and probably others did too, that it didn't have the Programmer's Aid #1 ROM installed, nor did it have the (I presume) Applesoft ROM card which is mentioned on the handwritten sales slip.

That made me wonder whether there's anyone out there in Apple II land who still maintains a sub-48K Apple II? I'm guessing that's an incredibly small number of people, if any. It makes using DOS trickier, for starters. I think 16K was the minimum RAM size for DOS, but then how much RAM did you have left over for a program?
