Hi Everyone.

I am a user of an Apple IIC+! yay! I use mine mostly for Applesoft Basic programming.

Is this a place for those of us who rock Jurassic Apples?

Yeah the IIc+ was a neat idea, but they really should have defaulted to 1 MHz rather than 4 MHz. The Apple II doesn't have a system timer, so games rely on counting CPU cycles.

Other than that, I like that the IIc and IIc+ have all the devices built in, like the 80 column card, language card, printer/modem, joystick, and mouse, along with a full 128 KB of RAM. Don't have to mess with cards on those.
