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?"
You shall not have died in vain!
I'm not quite dead yet, sir!

Dateless Friday and Saturday nights, that's what.
How old is the Bible?
Why? You put it in the graveyard?
From the title I thought that this was about paintings of old Apple computers.

These guys remind me of a professor I had in college a couple of years ago that kept two PDP-11's in his office and one at home. He worshipped them. Best hardware ever, he would say.
He was also the same guy that had 365 pairs of pants and 365 shirts and did laundry once a year so maybe that should have shed a little light on his mental state.
Well, now that the Taliban is gone, go ahead! Don't forget to keep Jon Katz posted!

Actually, it is electricity that keeps it going.

Someone needs to get a sense of humor, or perhaps a date...
I read this here a lot, but the sad fact is that many people would really like to get a date, but just aren't able to for some reason. Maybe they're not attractive, or have an introverted personality (which is really anethema to women). So the best these people can hope for is to find an engrossing hobby like this to keep them interested in life.
Hopefully, one day some of these people can invent a fem-bot campanion robot which actually likes being around introverted guys.
... you insenstive clod! What's this Apple II you speak of?
Apple ][ Forever!
