Dad and I picked up an Apple ][+ for him in '79. I bought it from him when he upgraded to a ][e. Picked up a Mac Plus (used) in '87 to do some contract Aldus Pagemaker. I must have replaced the flyback transformer twice before it finally burned all the way up. Carried that beast out to Edwards AFB with an Imagerwriter II to do process documentation for a defense project. I had that carry case for the computer.. carried it on the plane and everything Then found a used SE/30. I've had a rough rule.. never pay more than $500 for a computer for myself.
