I was inspired by the work of a couple others, which can be seen in the article's links. Good to see folks are giving themselves a use to put these great machines to daily, productive use. It's made my office a much happier space. And the CRT puts out that nice Apple plastic smell when it warms up. :-)

Does it do real-time ray tracing?

I never got the chance to play with an old apple (that one came out the year I was born!), but I have to admit - that is cool. Wonder if we'll be doing similar things to our iPods in 20 years time!

Anyone else not understand what the title is trying to describe?

very cool! I wonder if it comes with Oregon trail.

Pretty cool. My dad has a 1930's telephone that he uses in his office. I guess this is the geek equivalent.

Looks like the quadratic formula exploded all over that title.

Tugging at my heart! M$ Fanboy here who got his start of a IIc!!!

Great now his Mac Mini has has just died of dysentery.

Oregon Trail Forever!

Damn! I remember when the IIc came out... How old does that make me?...

How about a C64 still running a BBS?

Insert obligatory comment about how he's running his server on an apple //c here.
By the way, the apple ][e was the best.

How about a Newton running a webserver?!

I prefer the Apple IIGS. it was an amazing machine, in-expensive and backwardly compatible. I think it was a much better choice for most people than a Macintosh. If Apple would've called the IIGS a Macintosh, and forgot the Lisa maybe they could have captured a bigger market share back then, than trying to sell people a $2500 computer they didn't really need.

Someone runs a terminal emulator and it is news?

Ah, memories.

When I was 12 years old, I worked at the local family market making $2/hr (+tips) bagging groceries. It took me the entire summer, but I saved up enough money to buy my first computer: an Apple ][c.

That fall, I wrote my first program: ASCII Blackjack, written entirely in basic.

That winter, the computer was destroyed when the old woman living above me left her bathtub running which overflowed and caved in the ceiling. Lost the blackjack code, too.

I miss my Apple ][c. And I ***** hate old people.

I had one of these and a color thermal printer, oooh. Karateka anyone?

this all sounds a bit familiar...

That's reaaalllyyy cool

To everyone jumping on me here and in linking blogs/news sites about calling it an Apple "//c" (as opposed to "IIc" or "][c" or whatever)...
