Re: Apple // disk media

Rob,

Hell, it sometimes blows my mind that the *hardware* still works after
all this time.

Can you imagine buying a Dell notebook that would still be working in
25 years? Or an iMac? That's 2031! Nope. No way at all.

And yet our silly little Apple //'s keep plugging along...
