The ApplesBC user group is having a 25th anniversary meeting this
December and we're going to have a variety of older Apple hardware
at the meeting. In theory it should have been in March as we had our
first meeting in March 1979 but December will do. We want to have a
number of older machines set up and I ended in charge of that side
of it. For the non Apple IIs I'm thinking of
Apple III
Lisa
128k Mac
Mac Portable
Mac II
Mac IIfx
Quadra 950
6100
I�d also like to demo a thunderscan, either on the Mac or on an IIgs.
I'm also planning on one one computer running continuous Apple II and
other early Apple commercials.
For Apple IIs I'm a bit torn A couple members have original Apple IIs
with serial numbers below 100 but I wouldn't likely be able to plug
cards into them and boot them up. It's tempting but I'd really like
to have all the Apple IIs up and running so I'm thinking about a
working not so early original Apple II of my own.
I was originally thinking of only having a couple of Apple IIs but
I'm starting to think that just won't do. I want a IIc just because
it was such a great looking machine. The IIgs as the last design
and there's graphic and sound hardware and software I can't demo
on anything else. I'd like to demo a Graphic tablet so maybe a IIe
would be nice.
We'll be demoing Apple II software and hardware mostly to people that
haven't seen one in 15 years or have never seen one. What hardware
and software would look the most interesting to non Apple II people?
