This video sure brought back some memories. Sometimes I wish the Apple // era never ended. Apple should release a retro, commemorative edition. They would cost less today than they did 30 years ago.
This is my favorite computer from the 80s. I have one in my basement that hadn't been touched in something like 25 years and when I turned it on for the first time last year, it freaking worked! Such a classic computer.
I have that same Apple 2e too. Found it in a thrift store complete with 2 drives back in 1996 for like $25. Had it almost 20 years from that day. I first used one at school in summer school 1984. I tell you. I'll never forget that day. Wishing I had that computer at home. But for $1400.... oh well. LONG SHOT! I was only 14 yrs old then. For Christmas 1984, I did however, receive an Atari 800xl computer. I liked it as much as the Apple. The computer cost $150. With my kid's birthday and Christmas money, I bought a tape recorder. That's all I was able to afford. Despite of not having the Apple 2e (my DREAM computer), I still had my memories with the Atari 800xl. I STILL HAVE THIS ATARI 800XL NOW. HAD THAT COMPUTER SINCE 1984!!!!
That computer sure looks Altmodisch for 1992. Incredible that Apple Computer produced the IIe right up til 1993! With it's production run the Apple IIe was the Commodore 64 of Apple....
[SIGHS] my HS used to have a couple of these back in the day, [ class of 1984 ] I learned how to write code on them, and then later on I bought a used one of my own like in 1992. I miss it so much. it was so exciting to learn to program. and then to have my own was awesome.
Man I miss those old Apple II & Apple IIe computers. Very simple & easy to understand. Some of my best memories are of using Apple IIe's both to learn math & had quite a few games to play. We had 3 of these beauties in our 7th grade computer lab.
I remember our high school library having one of these. I used to program graphic simulators back in the days. However I'll never forget this one guy who loved creating mini games during his library session. Too cool. Great memories! Are you into developing games at all?
Awesome man, I still programmed on my Apple ][e up until 2000 or so. BASIC was my first programming language and I had a ton of fun with the system in general :)
I remember when these were the cutting edge. A huge jump from my vic20, I helped install and run the first "pc lab" network in my jrhs in 7th grade. Good times. I was trying to find the Tarzan game we used to play off floppy remember that?
@muskypucker That's how I remember it too :) Just as slot 6 was the "de-facto standard" slot to put your diskdrive-card into, slot 3 was the "de-facto standard" for the 80-col card (the //c even had it hardwired here, I think). And, switching to 80-col would solve the problem, as I see it : making an otherwise too wide string (for 40-column) fit on the screen. Cheers! :)
Lucky S.O.B... I've been digging around for a '73 Xerox Alto, but since they're so rare the only things I can finds is a mouse on ebay for $1,500.00 and some disks online as well.
He's got several inaccuracies here. First, it was called AppleSoft BASIC. There were two versions of basic, the original called "Integer BASIC" that used a > prompt, and AppleSoft that used a ] prompt. Second, This Apple IIe is from before 1986, not 1992. The Apple IIe's from 1986 and later were a "platinum" color instead of the beige above and had a numeric keypad. So the 1992 date is wrong.
Believe it or not, the Apple IIe was produced until November 1993. I didn't believe it myself, because the system was already obsolete by that era, but I guess it was really that reliable that they have kept it for so long.
I remember this, wasn't there a way to get to the prompt without a disk? Something like pressing control+reset to get the "]" prompt. I recall doing graphics programming using one of these, it was a 39x39 grid, if I remember correctly. Type "BILL" at the prompt - do you see anything?
Try to change computer speed with this command... SPEED=100 (the normal value is 255) To edit a line in list mode, try POKE 33,33. I don't remember the normal value but you can reset it with the command TEXT
I wanted one too! Back when I was 14 (1984). But GOT SLAPPED ON MY FACE with the price of $1400. That was 1984 dollars! Equal to about $2500 of todays dollars! I ended up with an Atari 800xl for Christmas that year! That's what my parents were able to afford!
I wanted one too! our HS had them back in 84. but I ended up with a TI 994A computer. for my 16th birthday. but it was cool for a firsty! It had a tape drive, and the speech emulator. and I hooked it up to the TV in my room. I was more into coding then any of the pre-coded Apps/ games that came with it. I always wanted the Hard drive / memory expansion pack, but my parents did not want to fork out the additional $1500 bucks for it. so I know whatcha mean.
The Atari 8-bit line of computers were not a bad line of computers. :) We got a handed down Commodore 64C :) Glad we did. Though, I did like the old Apple //e our school had (I learned BASIC on the C64; definitely prefer it over the //e though).
@mikeusat --- Of course it was fom the 80's. It was released January of 1983. I used it in computer science class in 1985. Just look it up on Wikipedia and you'll see.
When i was a kid i wanted an Apple II so bad, but my parents could not afford it. I wound up with a Crappy Commodore 16. To this most people have never heard of the Commodore 16.
They can be quite expensive, going for hundreds of dollars on eBay. I recommend the Commodore 64 since it does mostly the same things for MUCH cheaper.
@@KingdomofSmileys Good luck with C64 lol especially in the US C64 is quite unaffordable. Basically everything 80s is super expensive now I can’t find any Commodore at goodwill either
Get dos box for mac then run win 98 in dos box and run an version Applewin or use apple dos directly in dos box. I created a 9 line program that turn a basic program into text file for use with Qbasic the languages are similar as Applesoft is version of microsoft basic
May I know how this computer was used in companies? This computer neither has a mouse nor internet browsing programs, so what was the purpose of having this computer?
Exactly . You should've just typed PR#6 . And , I don't think that was programming . Pretty much every Applesoft BASIC user knew how to do what you did . There is much more in programming . Let's try this : 10 HOME 20 VTAB 1 : HTAB 1 : PRINT " [JUST SKIP THREE LINES] ________________________________________" 30 VTAB 1 : HTAB 1 : PRINT {TYPE [1] ADDITION , skip a line , [2] SUBTRACTION} 40 VTAB 3 : INPUT "NUMBER? : ";M$ 50 IF M$="1" THEN GOTO 100 60 IF M$="2" THEN GOTO 200 70 GOTO 0
Man, just the sound of your typing is enough to bring back waves of nostalgia.
This video sure brought back some memories. Sometimes I wish the Apple // era never ended. Apple should release a retro, commemorative edition. They would cost less today than they did 30 years ago.
Being Apple, I guess if they release a new "retro" Apple 2, it would cost $1984.
Just the sound of this takes me back to 1986 and my grade 8 keyboarding class. Good times.

Do you still have it in 2021? I hope so!
Really brings back good ol' time. I wish I still had that incredible machine now😢
Brings me right back to grade school. 4th, 5th grade.
I was born over 15 years after the Apple IIs were in production. My dad has a couple of IIes and a IIc and I love the IIc.
That brings back memories. I too wish they'd release a retro edition of this computer. I'd get one.

I miss those days. Discovering a computer for the first time felt very pioneering.
I learned on the PC while attending NCSU in 1984. Brings back memories!
Oh my god the sound of the keyboard came back crushing me. Sweet memories.
Aaahh, the pre-GUI interface days. I remember my old grade school had these until about 1993.
Wow... great video.. brings back old memories ...
got this xmas of 84'
what a year!!!!
Nice, thanks for the quick show.
The keyboard sounds amazing.
It’s used Alps SKCC switch which is way better than a Cherry MX Red and even MX Speed switch
Our school just found one of these in our media room.. They can't remember what it's from but I've been having fun with it recently
Awesome man, I still programmed on my Apple ][e up until 2000 or so.
BASIC was my first programming language and I had a ton of fun with the system in general :)
ye
know whaT few
fucking
Silly
bastars
should go. n ThaT vrey quick
Better than most Apple products today
I have one of these. So freaking awesome.
Ahh... Reminds me of the beautiful days when I was making games with Quick Basic.
I remember when these were the cutting edge. A huge jump from my vic20, I helped install and run the first "pc lab" network in my jrhs in 7th grade. Good times. I was trying to find the Tarzan game we used to play off floppy remember that?
Magical computer from past ...
Thanks!! I was showing my 6 year old what computers where like when I was a kid.
Love my Apple iie. 👍

man those things are awesome...
I just found one of these, in a burnt down house... Man the house burnt down like 20+ years ago too. :D Works perfectly, in perfect condition....
Lucky S.O.B... I've been digging around for a '73 Xerox Alto, but since they're so rare the only things I can finds is a mouse on ebay for $1,500.00 and some disks online as well.
How the heck did it not burn down with the house lol
Wolf Sonata only half the house could have burnt down and the rest could have fallen onto the ground.
@OBSysteme
Indeed! I use an old Macintosh Plus for that kind of things.
I have this exact apple iie and the drives and disks
It was my first personal computer in which I can program. I miss it!
My First Computer. This brings back wonderful memories. How much fun was zork?
The size of that floppy reminds me of "War Games"!
Why does his Apple lle look different from mine? Mine has a apple logo to the right and a number pad.

How is line 320 ever executed with the program caught in a never ending loop between lines 10-20?
Hey @Cosmic Five Tube
I was hoping to use a scene from this clip for one of my intros
would that be alright?
Sure, go for it :) (and thank you for asking)
I am with you. Apple should bring back a commemorative model ii.
Memories
So cool i was born 2004 and wow
What was that reset combination you used?
Which fallout graphics mod did you use?
So if I buy "just" the Apple IIe naked---without anything I would need those floppy drives too I take it. Also can you do bubble sorts, etc in basic?
I love programming in BASIC
Yeah but you have to download a app with computers today ):

SPEED=100
(the normal value is 255)
To edit a line in list mode, try POKE 33,33. I don't remember the normal value but you can reset it with the command TEXT
Do you need a disk to start up the computer? Or can you just use it without one?
ahh memories!
I want one of these
Use the "?" for a replacement for "PRINT"
also my favorite 10 BEEP 3

This remind me how lucky i am, with my newest macbook , i have no excuse to stop coding anymore
Never learned how to write basic programs. Wish I did.

Cool. :D
Hi, I have one of these computers and was just wondering where can you get floppy disks for it? Can anybody help me out?
Cous cous
I want one of these so I can learn basic!
you can download Liberty basic, the language is slightly different, but it's still easy to learn. It is fairly close to apple basic.
I still have all of my floppy disk.
@jgrab1 apple II doesnt has mouse
how much do one of these go for? I'd like to mess around with one.
They can be quite expensive, going for hundreds of dollars on eBay. I recommend the Commodore 64 since it does mostly the same things for MUCH cheaper.
Thanks a lot King.
@@KingdomofSmileys Good luck with C64 lol especially in the US C64 is quite unaffordable. Basically everything 80s is super expensive now
I can’t find any Commodore at goodwill either

@muskypucker I said TRUE geeks; they don't give up on a problem and reboot (PR#6), but solve it instead (PR#3) ...
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttttttttt.....1984?
Omg this was before my mom was born. :o
Dang you have a really young mom then
Joseph Rasmussen LOL Believing a woman who tells her age.. How cute! Woman>Mom
If thats true you are less than 16 today if your mom would under 32 today.
My goodness I wish I could find a working Apple //e emulator for the Mac.
+Bryon Lape There exists such a thing.. Virtual II is available at virtualii.com/ and is quite excellent.
Stephen Collins Doesn't work. I've tried nearly a dozen emulators and none of them work.
Get dos box for mac then run win 98 in dos box and run an version Applewin or use apple dos directly in dos box. I created a 9 line program that turn a basic program into text file for use with Qbasic the languages are similar as Applesoft is version of microsoft basic
@1xWertzui Syntax error.
You accidentally typed 1992 buddy...
May I know how this computer was used in companies? This computer neither has a mouse nor internet browsing programs, so what was the purpose of having this computer?
Seriously? In 1984 there was no internet. And also PCs didn't have a mouse. And they became much more successful than the Apple II...
i'm trying to make a 3D wireframe. any help would be appreciated
Are you making it on PC or what?

Thumb up if LOST send you here :D
Baisc is very easy language its easy than c , c ++ php
Yes. It's easier than C/C++ by a LONG way.
and easier than php :)
Significantly.
It's often used as a first language, for teaching.
yes ,, now most people use visual basic
Exactly . You should've just typed PR#6 . And , I don't think that was programming . Pretty much every Applesoft BASIC user knew how to do what you did . There is much more in programming . Let's try this :
10 HOME
20 VTAB 1 : HTAB 1 : PRINT " [JUST SKIP THREE LINES] ________________________________________"
30 VTAB 1 : HTAB 1 : PRINT {TYPE [1] ADDITION , skip a line , [2] SUBTRACTION}
40 VTAB 3 : INPUT "NUMBER? : ";M$
50 IF M$="1" THEN GOTO 100
60 IF M$="2" THEN GOTO 200
70 GOTO 0
i got one for free. broken power supply tho :( i see like a bunch on ebay :)
