Re: Apple IIe to GS upgrade

[hello@kitty.com (Glue Sniffin' Ed)]

Thanks Randy!!  Just didn't know if this upgraded 'e' was something I
should snag up.  I probably will pick it up...provided the price is
right.....for collections sake of course.  I was mainly wondering if
it might be some ultra-rare prototype or something.  The guy that has
it doesn't know what it is...as he buys bulk computer items at various
school and manufacturer closeout auctions.

Thanks again for you reply
