RE:Vintage Apple 2C
As far as I'm concerned, the Apple IIc was the best general-purpose home
computer ever made. COmpact -- to fit on small space on a student desk.
Although I generally make use of a IIgs, I would never think of parting with
my IIc systems. On a nice summer day, I can set it up on the bridge table
on my front porch and work as I also watch the world go buy and chat with
friendly neighbours.
There is lots of software for the IIc. If it's a "stock" IIc with just the
internal 5.25" drive and 128k, you can run AppleWorks version 3 on it. Set
up each module (WP, DB, SS) on three separate disks, and you'll only have to
swap disks when you want to change modules or save. If you have an external
drive, youcan set it up so you only have to swap disks for one of those
reasons.
With a IIc plus or Unidisk 3.5 drive on the IIC and at least 256k, you have
it made. Run the latest AppleWorks (version 5) and never have to swap disks.
