Since everyone seems to have forgotten, this very month marks the
20th anniversary of the Apple II computer! June 1977 (not sure of the
exact day) was when Apple Computer began shipping the product. Apple
may no longer manufacture, sell, support or even remember it, but it's
nice to know there are still many of us still using the machine (in
some form or another) to this day.
So happy 20th birthday! :-) Oh, and don't forgot that 2002 will
be 25 years, which will be a real milestone, especially if there are
any of us left still using it by then (I plan to keep my collection
of the entire Apple II line at least until then, and probably years,
if not decades, after that if possible).
