Yeah, not bad for a 1982 Apple IIe. I recently upgraded it to an Enhanced IIe so I can use software for the IIc and IIgs that wouldn't normally run on a IIe with a 6502 processor.

I had the notion that the Apples had ended with the IIc's...!! (My ol' man had one.) I never heard of a IIg. Do you have a pic and some more info..??

I had a couple of IIe's at work...Then we replaced them with PC's...Don't remember where the e's went to. Wish I had them back....

The IIc only lasted four years. 1984 to 1988 and the IIgs came out in 1986 and was discontinued in 1992. The IIe outlasted them all. It came out in January 1983 (mine were special ordered in 82) and it was discontinued in Nov 1993, a run of almost eleven years. The IIgs was a super enhanced model in the Apple II line. It was equipped with the 65C816 processor, an enhanced version of the 65C02 used in the IIc and the enhanced and later IIe's. The IIgs was the first (as it turned out only) 16-bit Apple II series computer Apple offered. It was a radical departure from any previous Apple II. It had a true 16-bit architecture, higher processing speed, megabytes of RAM, graphical user interface, music synthesizer, a mouse and a separate keyboard. It maintained full backwards compatibility with the earlier Apple II's while blending the Apple II and Macintosh technology into one. With the companies increasing focus on the Macintosh (Mac) platform little attention was spared for the Apple II's and the last of the line was dropped in 1993.
