Well Now, Always Remember, Superdavebeastula The Tall White Gothic Vampire Alien, Coming To You from Laval Quebec Canada. So. It Seems to Me that we have something of an old Portable Computer. My Digital Host, David, have found this picture somewhere, but we just don't which site or social media we got this from. At any rate, we looked up the info on Google Gemini and ZDNET. Basically, this machine came out in March of 1983. At the time it costed roughly $3000.00 if you bought this with only one Floppy Drive, which as you can see is the 5.25 inch. If you wanted two drives, as you see in the picture you have to spend about $600 more. This all-in-one luggable suitcase computer 28 Pounds or 13 Kilos.

Well Now, Always Remember, Superdavebeastula The Tall White Gothic Vampire Alien, Coming To You from Laval Quebec Canada. So. It Seems to Me that we have another Personal Computer that is quite old. My Digital Host, David, and I remember using this back in West Hill High School, when we had the Computer Science class. This is an Apple II computer, although we are not sure if it is a Plus or an E. As you can see, the screen is green. Colored Monitors were a rarity although we did have one in class. No Hard Drive, just two 5 and quarter inch disks, which held only about at most 500 KB. It was the first time we used computer so it was exciting. Thankyouverymuch. 😀😂😍đŸĨ°đŸ˜‡đŸ˜ˆđŸ¤–đŸ’ģ⌨️đŸ–Ĩ️🖱️🖲️🕹️🎮💾đŸ“ŧ
