Re: How I got interested in the Apple ][...



Yes, I'm in south Winnipeg so not far. Just scored a pair of Apple II+ units pretty loaded up (one working great, one needs power supply and keyboard). My main love is Amiga (boo, hiss) so I'm wondering what to do with these...

And are you still more or less located in the same area?

In my case, my first exposure to personal computers (a.k.a.
microcomputers) was in the very early 1980's, sometime around elementary
school/junior high.  The school division that my little rural school was
part of in southern Manitoba (Manitoba, Canada....just north of North
Dakota/Minnesota)


Yep...well somewhat. About 40 or 50 kilometers east of that area I grew up
in. Currently live in the south eastern corner of Manitoba (in the small
city of Steinbach, MB to be exact).

Why do you ask?  :)  Are you from that general area?

PS. As I am typeing this, I am looking at my black Apple ][ Plus (Bell &
Howell/Apple name badge), and I have my Apple IIc Plus booted up in the
corner, displaying the Apple IIc Plus BASIC prompt on a Commodore 1702
Video Monitor.  :)
