Just got an Apple II -- What to do ?? :-)

["Ringo Langly" <rlangly@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

After doing some web work for a friend of mine, he gave me an old Apple
II as 'payment' with two working floppy drives and a TON of software.
Based on the dates and serial number this is an original Apple II from
around 1979, so now I'm trying to decide what to do with it :)

I'm an old-school computer guy and a collector of older systems, and
though I used an Apple II in the day at school this is my first Apple
of that era to own. I have a Mac Classic and I use my PowerMac G4 and
iBook daily!  I hate seeing my old computers just sit and collect dust,
but what's some uses for older systems like this?  Most of my old
systems, like my Commodore Amiga 500, Tandy TRS-80's (have many
including Model I, Coco2, and Coco3), and even Mac Classic and Mac
Performa I've used as either serial terminals for my PowerMac or Linux
boxes or found basic apps or games to use.

Suggestions?  I was surprised to see SO much activity on
comp.sys.apple2 and with so many Apple II's sold and only one or two on
EBay at any given time I can only assume there's LOTS of folks still
using these old systems.

Ideally I'd love to get an RS-232 card so I can do some serial
communications with my Linux boxes or Powermac, and I've even thrown
around the idea of a BBS, though that's more novelty and GEEWIZ factor
there.  

Thanks for any ideas or suggestions, and take care,

Ringo
