NOT the Apple 1 that was donated to the Recycling Center
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
I challenge the members of the Apple ping list to each donate at least $10 each to the latest Freepathon. I HAVE donated $100. Many members of the Apple Ping list are already rising to the challenge. Join them. Let's show the power of the Apple Ping list in supporting Freerepublic!
That is cool. I wish I had kept my Apple II+
Anyone know what an Atari ST is worth?
Wow, I knew Apple Computers are expensive, I didn’t realize how expensive they had gotten.
Our first ‘puter was an Apple IIc.
Anyways, we got a whole roomful of them. Anybody wanting one for a souvenir is welcome to come on by and take one of these. Just come on over.
Anybody out there?
There were just 200 of these 1st ten machines produced. You just know a few of these are still tucked away and forgotten in attics. Can you imagine spotting one of these babies at a garage sale?!
What is a little misleading with the picture is that the 1st machines were electronics only. No case, as was typical of hobbyist computers of that vintage.
I’m trying to remember what level our first Apple was. I’m thinking it was a 2e. I bought it to run the professional software I bought. The computer was definitely not made out of wood. Which came first, the 2e or the 2c?
1976 ay ay ay!
ran a one man business off an apple IIe
with 2 shoebox floppy discs
upgraded memory to 128k (a joke today)
and used micro soft multiplan (spreadsheet)(that was before they changed the name to microsoft)
and word...
with my proprietary voyage estimate program i could run voyage estimates 10x faster than manually and could bid more jobs... I beat out Lykes line and Farrel Line for a big contract. Major us carriers at teh time...
the computer enabled me to get rid of the telex machine i was renting from western union (no more tape and chads all over). and i could send telexes from it via western union interface
the setup cost me $2500 and the telex was rented for $125/month (savings). that computer and a sts brick cellphone enabled me to compete with companies and my first contract was moving camp housing to the middle east as part of the camp david peace accord... i still have the IIe and the phone...oh an i had an answering machine with remote access.. thus i could be out selling and still answer calls to the office.. technology
Be funny if it turned out she was the Old Man’s Old Lady! ;-)

The image in your photo shows a surplus keyboard that I personally used back in the 70’s to hack with. It was a very nice one, and it got blown out cheap by surplus dealers. With no Internet back then it was very hard to find goodies, especially if you weren’t connected to the business.
