Troy,

    Ever want to complete something?  Well of course you have.  My quest is
to have every component for the Apple //c.  Think about it, we grew up
owning these machines.  We DREAMED of owning RAM disks, Harddrives, the
works!  Could we afford it?  Heck no!  So for once I will own a complete
system...with the works.  Hey, it's a fun hobby...and pretty cheap now.
Nothing like going back to those youthful days and firing up a 8bit game!
Fun, fun, fun!
