Apple IIe

I've always been fond of the IIe - the first one I saw was at Myers back when they had a dedicated business computing department (although technically it was the Platinum model), and I really impressed - it seemed so much fancier that the VIC-20s and Commodore 64s I was used to.

Apple Platinum IIe

I really did like the Apple IIe line. This was the first model Apple I had the opportunity to try, and the funny "return" key stuck in my mind for - literally - decades afterward.

Apple II Plus

This was, surprisingly, seems to be a II Plus rather than a Europlus. Previous I'd only seen the Europlus over here, so naturally I grabbed it.

Apple IIc with LCD display

Some years back I met someone with a pile of IIc's in his shed, which he passed on for me to look after. I still hope to do something in order to display them properly one day. Interestingly, one of them had the LCD display shown here - they're quite unusual, as they were truly awful at the time, so comparatively few were sold. I'm very fond of the IIc - it see it as one of the three computers which seem to best exemplify Steve Job's particular vision, for good or ill.
