I feel like it’s a cardinal sin posting vintage Apple stuff in the PCMR lol. Today I feel like being a rebel
By law, you are required to break out a dial up modem. lol
Another person must have past away there collection tossed out by people that had 0 knowledge of what they inherited and or got via house auction something like that.
So many tales of collectors after they past there collection is tossed or soled for cheap because the knowledge was not past on.
They let you take it out of the recycle bin?
25W power supply lol. Oh how things have changed!
You gotta play Oregon Trail on those
Classic 😎
Oh wow. I had one of these. It can run Prince of Persia!
Open the case, in the plastic body you’ll see all the signatures of the team that worked on this embossed in the plastic. It’s kinda a neat Easter egg.
I learned LOGO on these back in the day. The idea that someone toting one with the handle make me laugh.
My first computer was a Mac with a 5.25-in floppy drive.
I absolutely loved playing Canon and Pigs in Space featuring Mrs Piggy on that thing.
I have never owned a Mac since, I have built probaby 300 PCs, and work as a full-time IT guy now.
I can barely operate an iphone. I fuckin hate macs now, lol. just not for me. I even bought a trash can Mac for cheap to try it out, couldn’t find a single reason to use it.
Unreal. Even my wife, who is not a tech person, was shocked when I told here. Please provide updates.

Holy crap! Those things are probably older than most of the people reading this. Awesome find!
Damn nice
My mom was a 2nd grade teacher and they let her take home the classroom Apple 2e during summer recess.
I would play games on it and it is probably where I fell in love with computers.
Later on she brought home an IBM and would play basic games on it like Gorillas.bas. It was similar to worms only it was just two monkeys throwing bananas at each other.
Oh man, the first computer I used in school was an Apple II. I used to sell Apple computers when I was in college and that was 6 months before the colorful iMacs and Macbooks were launched alongside OS X. Thank you for making me feel old.
Keep us updated!
2 apple IIs with 2 monitors and 2 stands!? Bro you hit the jackpot if they work even if they take some repair work.
Pro tip: the best apple II is the IIe. Those supports sound cards (ie Mockingboard) which are needed if you want to play games with better sound than the default beeper!
Nice! I learned a lot my basic computer skills on the IIc
That’s awesome
Faded white plastic checks out these look real to me
Can it run Doom?
Holy moly! That’s an amazing find!
I’m hoping to find one at some point. They were so common that I imagine they’re all over the place, but I’ve never seen one in person.
My first computer. Get some Sierra Games floppies now!
