It's unique.  Who among my family and friends still uses an Apple //?
It's fun.  Especially with my system rSounds and killer icons.  :)
It makes me feel like I'm special.  Using old hardware to solve modern
    problems, zipping around the Internet on an 8-bit, showing others
    how to do it and proving you don't need a flippin' 686 to exist.
It's what I own and have collected software for since 1984, and it is
    all backward compatable so I've never had to toss a ][+ soft.
Most importantly, it does what I want it to do and doesn't balk.  Most
    people have more computer than they need and never use it to its
    capacity.  Maybe my boundary is lower but I know I'm pushing the
    envelope when I'm running at high performance level -- and am in
    the system's comfort zone when doing my daily thing (email, xfers,
    word processing, monkeying around) instead of well below it.

So this is why I still use my //e and obtained a GS last year.
