My (Still Working) Apple ii

My Apple ii. Unless you've had one, you won't really understand. Even has a whole 64KB with the language card. TG Products joystick with a ribbon cable connector. No cassettes, it's 5.25" floppies! Amdek color monitor. This ended up looking like an advertisement from an old computer magazine.

    I f*cking love this drawing. Great job on the weekly prompt. I was around for this computer, but I didn't own it. Instead, I had a Commodore 64 that I loved.

    @okat I have a Commodore 1541 disk drive I've squirrel away for a "special project". Pre-commodity computer equipment is the best. One of the failures of efficiency is unique design. Any vehicle looks like any other vehicle now. And digitization looks like nothing at all.

    @okat I remember the excitement of upgrading from my Vic20 to C-64! A friend came to visit from California and had a package under his arm when I met him at the airport. My beloved C-64!

    I never had an Apple II, but the company where I worked bought a Lisa --- OMG, it was beautiful and cost an absolute FORTUNE in those days. Thanks for the memory lane.
