I'm eyeing that IIc. That was my first Apple... EVER. It was a complete system with the original monitor and a whopping 128KB of RAM. I remember typing in code from some pre-Macworld pro-Apple mag I think it was called "Byte" or "Bit"... not sure, but the programs were cool and ranged from index cards to a very useful spreadsheet a la Visicalc. Sold the whole system with an Apple Scribe for about $500 and used the money towards my first Mac (a Plus). I remember playing Conan on it with the old single button Apple joystick and spending hours playing Bard's Tale. Those old Apple computers did a lot for the technology back then. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Vintage Macs group.
