Very sad news:

The 80's were terrific The Apple IIe I bought at the time is still the computer that holds the fondest memories for me, closely followed by my collection of Atari St's.
I paid $1500 for a slightly used one at the time & spent hours copying the Basic programs from Apple magazines into a cassette recorder, it was terrific fun & very satisfying when you got them to run!
I loaned the magazines from the local Library because I was broke after paying for the computer . Sold it for $1200 (a great return on my original purchase) when the Atari Ste hit the market.
A lot of computer engineers mounted the Motherboard of the original Apple computer on their office walls because it was seen as a masterpiece of engineering genius by Steve Wozniack, Jobs partner.
Aaaaahhh! great times, RIP Steve Jobs you earned it.
