- Is the Apple // dead? After working on Macs for the last several
- years and pricing the cost of buying one for myself, I am coming
- to the realization that my Apple // is pretty much all the micro-
- computer I've ever needed, and more computer than most people
- really do need.
-
- Anyway, so after a 2 year hiatus from my //c, I am trying to find
- a source to purchase hardware and software for it.
- Pre 1989, I usually wnt to a grocery store to pick up the latest
- edition of InCider or A+ to read reviews and find mailorder houses.
- Do any Apple // mags exist anymore?
- Do Apple // mailorder places exist?
- Does Apple // now mean only Apple //gs?
-
- I am pondering the addition of the following to my system:
- accelerator Zip chip (does this exist? how much? how fast? good/bad?)
- Unidisk 3.5 or (gulp) harddrives?
- memory expansion?
- programming compilers, for C and Pascal?
- Beagle Brothers - do they still exist?
- Appletalk and Laserwriters? Do these work with the //? How? Good/bad?
- How has the 16bit ProDOS come along? 16bits in general - only GS?
- Clock for the //c - Applied Eng still does //s?
-
- I've been helped in terms of Modeming and everybody here loves ProTerm 3,
- but where can I get it?
-
- I have AppleWorks 1.1 - Can I get an upgrade to 3.0? How? How much$?
- Any other great Apple // developements I should know about?
-
- Should I go //gs for all my desires($650 in mac mags)?
-
- I am tired of planned obsolesence. I like my //. There is nothing wrong
- with it, and compared to the all too friendly bombing macs, my //c
- is like an old simple friend that gets the job done.
-
- Help and thank you,
- Todd S.
