    If only we had heeded the underlying message in this seminal Apple ad ... "Buy Apple and get screwed." #apple

    We need a racy serial drama that glamorizes the fashion and glamor of working in an moderately-successful office in Chicago in the late Seventies.

    The wood veneer on the steel desks (rented from CORT). The winedark industrial carpeting. The heavy multiline phones with the blinking lights and a shoulder-rest stuck to the back of the receiver. The ladies in blouses with giant bows, giant plastic framed eyeglasses and suntan pantyhose.

    And let's not forget those tweed polyester styles - high waistband and flared cuffs. Every gent should have a tie with a knot the size of his fist in varying styles of paisley, loosened just enough to see the beginnings of a swath of chest hair creeping out of his undershirt.

    Every car should be either burnt sienna or avocado green, maybe with a crappy little baby blue Toyota Corolla. #apple

    I actually had an Apple ][+ as my first real computer. I had a TI 99-4A before the Apple, but we won't even go into what a nightmare that thing was.



    I loved my Apple ][+! The "Plus" part meant that it came stock with 16k or memory rather than 4! I personally upgraded it to 64k with an Orange memory card in slot 0. Ahh, the good old days back when Apple made it easy to get into your machine!



    What seams like a billion years later, I'm still a fan of Apple products. As for my ][+, it's in the basement... and it still runs fine. My 5.25 disks are degrading pretty fast these days, though.

    @Oldbrass: I did my first programming on an Apple ][, as well, although the first computer I owned was a VIC-20. I still have the VIC-20, and it still works. There's an Apple ][ sitting 10 feet from me here at work, and a TRS-80 Model I over by the wall. It's been years since either of those was fired up.

    I think they still have these at a few of our elementary schools. I kind of want to go there and play Oregon Trail again until I get arrested for throwing a 5 year old off their chair.

    I wanted one of these soo bad! But at 1- 2gs it was a little out of the family budget which sucked ass for me. The compromise? ATARI 400! Yes I am bitter! But I got my revenge in the end with my AMIGA 1000! with 512k module! WOOHOOO! True multitasking bitch! Then I got the 3000 with the OS on roms! gotta love that, instant startup!
