When's the last time you saw one of these?



And it still works! Big Grin Cool



Haven't used this machine in about 20 years. Just turned it on today to see if it would still turn on. It does. Smile

Sweet!

Haven’t seen one of those since I used one in high school, but ours only had dual diskette drives. Quad drives would have been awesome.

Owned one for years. Gave to daughter and haven't seen it since then (about 30+ years ago).

Underneath my college roommate's loft in his room, his girlfriend bought one and kept it in our apartment. 1981 or so.

Always float the wagon over the river. Never attempt to ford.

Many wagons fail to make it all the way to Oregon.

Dual, dual disk drives. Big Grin

I think my parents may still have the one we had as kids in their basement. I've thought about trying to dig it out one day to see if it still worked.

Glad I came back and checked this post.... Guess I need to proofread my posts better.

I spent many hours playing "Wizardry" and "Aztec" on the Apple IIe.

I *LOVE* the IIe. My high school had a bunch of Atari's and Apples, with the IIe being my favorite.
I wrote a lot of games on them back in the day.
