The first Apple // I ever owned was one my mom bought used for me from the
c.s.a.marketplace group. Three great big boxes of goodies! It was an
Enhanced //e. I still use it and have expanded my Apple collection ever
since. One of the first computer classes I ever took was 4 Saturdays
learning programming on a ][+. We just couldn't afford an Apple back then
in 1982.

This might be going off on a tangent but does anyone else aside from me
think that computers just aren't as much fun now as they were in the 80's?
It was just great to play around and actually have fun with all the old
8-bits. Still have about 25 of them around here. All kinds and love
learning the ins and outs of all of them.
