Programming in Apple BASIC on a 1984 Apple IIe, in 2009!

Just the sound of this takes me back to 1986 and my grade 8 keyboarding class. Good times.

This is my favorite computer from the 80s. I have one in my basement that hadn't been touched in something like 25 years and when I turned it on for the first time last year, it freaking worked! Such a classic computer.

I was born over 15 years after the Apple IIs were in production. My dad has a couple of IIes and a IIc and I love the IIc.

Brings me right back to grade school. 4th, 5th grade.

Oh my god the sound of the keyboard came back crushing me. Sweet memories.

Thanks!! I was showing my 6 year old what computers where like when I was a kid.

@muskypucker That's how I remember it too :) Just as slot 6 was the "de-facto standard" slot to put your diskdrive-card into, slot 3 was the "de-facto standard" for the 80-col card (the //c even had it hardwired here, I think). And, switching to 80-col would solve the problem, as I see it : making an otherwise too wide string (for 40-column) fit on the screen. Cheers! :)

Do you need a disk to start up the computer? Or can you just use it without one?

[MarkMphonoman]

Never learned how to write basic programs. Wish I did.

The size of that floppy reminds me of "War Games"!

[ExploitAndChill]

how much do one of these go for? I'd like to mess around with one.

[DeadlyCookye]

Which fallout graphics mod did you use?

[BryonLape]

My goodness I wish I could find a working Apple //e emulator for the Mac.

[AllGamingStarred]

I tried computing to infinite and the computer shot itself out of agony lol.

Makes me want to dig my old //e out of the closet and see if it still works!
