    I know! I totally agree!

    I wish I could have a IIe though, so expensive! I might have to get an IBM PC instead...bleh, Apple Computer really should do more of this stuff. Why in the world are they even thinking of making MP3 players sometime in the next twenty years? Especially iPods...what the heck is that? The name will never catch on.

    Awesome, you're bringing back some old memories. Let me know when you get Conan and Sundog.

    Apple IIc is a great deal. $999 with monitor. It also comes with a disk that loads something called a GUI. It fun to play around with, I like the paint program.

    Mostly, I just play Elite, Mobius and Ultima IV.

    Remember Robotron on the apple IIe?

    I played that for ever! I could flip it at level 100 and do it again and never die or get bored!

    Remember the last couple levels? You would get this thing called video overload where it moved so slow...the graphics chip couldnt keep up!!

    Man... I started learning how to type on one of those things WAYYY back. It wasn't til I had access to the Mac SE that I got any good though. My grandpa figured it was important to my future to learn, so by the time I hit 4 years old, I was hitting 15wpm.

    My school had mostly IIgs's though, by the time I was there. Played alot of Oregon Trail!
