Nice, I bought one myself a few years ago from ebay. It's a nifty computer, I even got one of the old Softdisk "magazines".

Which one did you get? IIplus? IIe or IIgs? I wanted to get the IIplus, but this one comes with lots of stuff and games, so I bought this one. Hope it will arrive by this friday, the waiting is killing me...  |

Hope it will arrive by this friday, the waiting is killing me... The IIe. In hindsight, a gs would have probably been a better choice since it can run all the same programs and more. It's currently sitting in my attic right now because I've run out of room in my house.  |

Hopefully you get it soon Alex. But in the end you know the wait will be well worth it. Hope you enjoy your computer when it finally arrives  Thanks. By the way, it's not just a computer, it's an Apple II. It's a vintage computer.
The IIe. In hindsight, a gs would have probably been a better choice since it can run all the same programs and more.
Well, the IIgs is a little too powerful to be called Apple II.  Somehow I feel that the GS would lose the original Apple II feel. |

I agree. Using an original II and a gs is pretty different.
Plus, that colored background......yeesh!

Wow technology certainly has advanced since then... The restisters and capacitors on the board are not surface mount... and the tracks on the board are so huge you can drive a semi-truck through there... Yeah i used to build shit like this when i went to school....
And now you can fit all of that into an eye of a needle....

Finally, it arrives!! The Apple //e looks much larger in person than the photos appear.    The legendary Softdisk!!   ======== EDIT: This is the original version of //e, so it has the 6502 chip instead of 65C02. ========  |
