No joke, my dad wrote his master's thesis on that thing, and now I would have no idea how to retrieve that information from those floppies, if they haven't totally disintegrated by now. That little green screen was awesome. My parents bought an Apple IIc for the house when I was in second grade, and then did not upgrade till I was a freshman in college.

People laugh when I say this, but it literally had 0k. You had to plug in a cartridge if you wanted to do anything other than type words on a screen. Plus, the keyboard didn't even have raised keys - it was just a single piece of flexible plastic with letters printed on it. In an unrelated matter, I was watching the Big 12 baseball tournament a few days ago, and one of the players - a shortstop, I think, from Missouri or Oklahoma State - was named Gary Arndt. And he's from Racine! Weird. Our first “computer” was an Atari 400. People laugh when I say this, but it literally had 0k.
