you said the days of the apple ii, which includes the iie.
the apple ii series was discontinued in 1993, *long* after the iie came out.
you're also ignoring that many other computers from that era didn't have lower case. it wasn't just apple.
the original apple ii & apple ii plus keyboard was almost identical to the then common asr-33 teletype, also uppercase only. it even had a rept key.
there weren't a lot of people who knew how to write mac apps and even fewer who could do it well, yet there was a *huge* demand, so those who did got paid *very* well.

C'mon nospam. You had your head handed to you on the Linux newsgroup when you last tried to make the claim that Apple didn't break Linux connectivity with the iOS 7.0.0 to iOS 7.0.1 release.
*Apple never tests any of their products in the real world.*
So, not only do you get CPU slowdowns to half the speed you paid for with each iOS release, but you also have a great chance of everything breaking in the real world.
*Even Apple admits that they don't test their products in the real world.*
You don't get your head handed to you on the iOS newsgroups because most people on the iOS newsgroups are uninformed about the real world - they live entirely imprisoned inside the luxury of the walled garden.
What's funny is that intelligent Linux posters such as Whiskers and Frank Slootweg can see right through you in your first posts - whereas the iOS gullibles fall for your sneaky semantic twists every single time.
Heh heh ... that's the biggest difference between Linux users (who live in the real world) and iOS users (who live in the walled prison garden).
When I lived on the farm in the sixties, we were on a party line. You could call someone in town by dialing only five digits, but to call someone on the same line you'd dial a 4-digit code plus ALL 10 DIGITS of that number.
Long distance calls required the operator. In the seventies they introduced direct dialing, but you still had to have the operator come on and ask YOUR number.
Years ago - seeing my high-school-aged-kids texting - I would scoff and think it was dumb. Now, after several years of using text messages - I rather like it - whether sending or receiving - it's more efficient than voicemail tag, and you can text to several people at once. I think my texts cost 10 cents to send - free receive - which might add-up for a young person texting all day & night but it's nothing for my usage. John T.
If that doesn't work you just need to add the router for which carrier they have. verison is VTEXT.COM ( snipped-for-privacy@vtext.com) More complex texts, like with embedded pictures go to vzwpix.com.
John T. < who tappety-taps complete words, sentences, and some punctuation in his texts > < but has never felt the need to print one > There IS a voicemail I wish that I had saved : " Hi Dad. I rolled the car - I'm OK but the car isn't. "
When people reply to my "texts" I am not even sure they know it is Email on my end and from a PC printing is trivial. Not sure what you can do from a phone but if you have a wifi attached printer there should be a data path. I don't know about anything you can put in your purse.
