Still Life in the Apple II Community
a2fan writes "A bunch of retro-computing Apple II enthusiasts are decending on Kansas City, MO July 22-27 for the 15th annual KFest. Apple co-founder and Apple I, II designer Steve Wozniak will be there. The Apple II keeps on kicking with Ethernet, TCP/IP, and PCMCIA RAM cards used as hard disks. What is it that keeps such an old platform going?"
Back in the Apple II days, the Apple Logo had the gay pride rainbow colors!!
Actually, for a laugh Stephen Hick tried combining gardening and computing. It nearly worked, too. At least until that fateful rain storm. :(
Nonsense! The Z80 was the finest 8-bit architecture ever!
OH YEAH ASSHOLE? WELL HOW ABOUT <40kB deleted> YOUR WIFE AND YOUR DOG!!!11
on the other hand, perhaps we should unite and revolt against the 16-bit word heretics...

What is it that keeps such an old platform going?
I'd say spite. I'll never forgive Apple for completely dumping their entire Apple II user base with nary a thought to their loyalty. Hence I never bought another Apple product again.
I'd make it to this meeting if I could, just to stick it to Jobs.

Anyone who knows the joy of programming machine language for the 6502 knows the answer.
This makes absolutely no sense. Programming has nothing to do whatsoever with the fact that your mom still whores out her moldy old grey cunt. What keeps her going? Her crank addiction of course.
I love the way my semen glistens on her silver pubes.
Dorks. Plain and simple. Dorks.
My wife is a teacher for an advanced program at a grade school.
Your wife is also a filth $2 whore who likes to stick a finger in my asshole when I pump her mouth full of cum.
Just thought you may want to know that.
That program sounds pretty "advanced" with all that shitty hardware. Where does she work, anyway? The Rural West Virginia School for Retards? Or is that where she got her degree?
Actually, I think I'm all right to come with you, sir!
You got that quote all wrong. It's "Actually, I think I'm about to come on your face, bitch!"
I remember we got a IIe in my high school intro to electronics class my senior year.
I remember when I was in high school I was busy fucking that guy's teacher-wife. Hell, every guy in the school was fucking her, sometimes three of us at once. She'd be coated in cum and we'd spit on her and call her "whore" and "bitch" while she cried. She must have enjoyed it because we all gots A's.
Hey, you want your kid to have an education, you pay for it. Just because other people would rather have an SUV doesn't let you off the hook. Don't be so goddamn greedy. Pay for your spawn yourself, let other people decide what to do with theirs.
