Me too. December, 1981, from the ComputerLand store on Hawthorne in Torrance, CA. They told me Sally Field had just bought one to be delivered to her kids for Christmas (like I cared).
I also bought two 128K disk drives, a Hayes 300 baud modem ($300), an Epson MX-100 (wide) dot matrix printer ($399), and a $100 sign-up package for the Source. The credit card charge was over $5000.
Within a few weeks, I'd added the "Microsoft Language Card" ($100? for 16K) to boost the RAM to 64K, a Z80 card to run CP/M, an Amdek color monitor, Nasir Gabelli's "Space Eggs," and VisiCalc and PFS: File (to demonstrate why a microcomputer could help my husband's business). And yes, the manuals were indeed awesome. (Apple DOS 3.3, was it?)
Good memories for sure, but nothing makes me smile more than encountering your correctly represented "Apple ][+" (instead of "Apple II" or even "Apple II+"). You are indeed the Purity of Essence!

"Some of your classmates are trying to contact you!"
Does this mean they aren't? I'll just lay down and cry!
Since you went to such a crummy school (it's lie down), probably no one is trying to contact you.
I realize that this is totally pedantic, but it was an Apple //e, not an Apple ][e.
Yeah, it sort of matters...somewhere, somehow.

Heheh...no kidding. When I saw "Ramanujian" in the header, my first thought was, "An Armenian created a math problem?!"
