What a great little computer Lee. The 2C was one of the first true portable ones. Apple's pricing structure killed it off. They had a flat screen developed for it as well but the Mac came out and the II series died a natural death even though the IIGS was on the market for a few years after the IIC. I have one still hoarded in the shed minus the screen. Should throw it out now you have reminded me!

From time to time these discs turn up at work with something (old but critical) on them that needs to be accessed. There's an old wang 486 in the office for just those times...

vw54 · 23 Nov 2009, 12:25 pm

yeah i used to use them back around 1986 or 7 from memory its good to keep a putor with all the old drives on it

our new ones at work dont even have a 3 in floppy any more

Just to give you an idea on how technology has changed, in 1986 the Westpac Mainframes took up the space of half a tennis court. The HDD capacity used then is now what's in your laptop and desktop.
