RIP. Those old Apple computers were so fun to work on back in the day.

The first computer I owned was an Apple 2e. Then I was corrupted by IBM and PC and now I’m back with my iPhone 4, my iMac, and my Macbookair. I still have one PC to do a few things on but moving more and more to my macs.

Bought an Apple II SE, I think that's what it was called, in early 1990. Paid about $3500 (actually CHARGED on credit)...had a small 7-8 inch screen - black and white, yet I did a ton of free lance desktop publishing...typesetting for a number of local printing outfits and customers needing some very "specialized skill" at the time, which allowed me the opportunity to stay home with my new born son...for about 12 months, until I ended up with a most fantastic job. Anyways...was a great investment at the time! My oh my! How far we've come!

Thanks Steve! Thanks for the memories!

I worked at a company that got the Apple "Lisa" personal computer in 1983.

Had this new little gadget called a "mouse" and one could open up applications in a "window".

Apparently, Apple didn't license "windows" and Bill Gates was able to grab them for his system.

RIP Steve.
