My first one was an Apple IIc, back in '88 or so. Then I got the old one I have now in '99 and it's been rebuilt so many times all that's left of the original is the zip drive, which quit working a few months ago. And a lot of files, most of which I have a back up CD for, thank heaven. But I did lose about half of my email addresses.

Not only that, they are a lot cheaper now, too. That Apple IIc cost me around 1,100.00, as I recall. And dollars went a lot further then than they do now.

4 GB of RAM, huh? Nice. No wonder you like to watch movies at home. Mine is a Dell I bought used back in 02. I added RAM to it and it runs great. I would LOVE a new computer.

And a zero radius turn lawn mower. But santa keeps insisting I ain't on his list! The old fart!

I hope you have a subwoofer! Makes all the difference in the world.

EB has a subwoofer, but his runs on beans.
