Hi,
I used to have an Apple II+, then a IIe. It was my first computer. I
liked it at first, but noticed how nice the PCs were getting, with
faster processors and nicer graphics. This was in the late 80s/early
90s.
The last couple days I've started getting all nostalgic and downloaded
AppleWin, been looking at pictures and reading about old Apples on the
Internet. I ran a few programs I used to use on the AppleWin emulator
and thought it's really cool how it emulates a II perfectly. But then
I realized why I quit using the Apple IIs. Nice machines for their
time, but unfortunately, terribly outdated.
So my question is, what are you using yours for? You obviously have a
newer computer to post things on the web. Are you just playing around
with it or using it for productive things?
