My question is did you dig out the old Redbook and if so was your's a hard
binding or spirial bound?  Do you also have the old 5x7 Dos 3.0 manual?
By the way, I do have the those and a few others.
Ah the days of "Real" computing power ;-).

So the question is do you have a Apple ][ in you closet? I do and every
one an a while I pull it out to remember the old days.  

Of course to place it into real world, I am typeing this message on a
PowerBook G3.  And next to it is a IIci that I write Novels on.

Just thought I'd add a little Oddness to this.

Oh and By the way, you are correct, on the original Apple ]['s you have to
hit the reset to get them to start.  You need at least 16k to run DOS, of
course then you only have 4K for programing then.  Sort of like running
7.5.5 on a MacPlus.

I have some old Program some where in that closet too.

Well have fun with your Apple ][, I did in '78.
