I bought my Apple IIe in the 1980's used in Germany (here we had
only a few apple II) it had two 5,25 drives and Apple Works - I loved
it - later forgot - and two years ago at the end of my study to
become a lawyer I "found" it again - know it is standing polished
at my desk and I am surfing the internet with him like this page
I do have also a Sony Notebook (VAIO) - but this old apple makes
more fun and is as fast as the sony (but no graphic).
Apple II forever!
