Apple's best home computer

[Joe Redifer]

Vote for the best Apple computer NOW or may you forever have an itchy rash!!!

Apple ][.  My first computer.  Strictly used for gaming (and they were great), and some stupid BASIC programs.

Then I moved up to a Macintosh Classic.  Geez, that was a mistake.  It's the Mac Classic that turned me away from Apple in general.  I liked feeling geeky typing all the cryptic DOS commands and making stupid batch files.

Apple ][ GS FTW!!!

The Apple IIe was great!  We used it in high school.  No mouse or anything.  I remember drawing stuff line by line with commands such as HPLOT 24,62 to 29,47 and stuff like that.  In fact, that's how I did the two drawings below (which I did in high school right before the Genesis was released).  I printed them out on the awesome dot-matrix printer which had sprockets on the paper itself which you could peel off.






If I did these drawings in today's high schools, I'd be arrested for sure since these drawings dictate that I'd be the next candidate who'd likely shoot up the school.  They'd also claim I was racist.  I love political correctness, as you can see!

Apple II by light years.

Imac G3 damn it! My first "great" computer (only had bad computers prior to that, like old PCs and stuff). It was awesome, had a LOT of fun with that one back in '99.

Apple II GS for me. It was the first computer in my elementary school that played a real game(King's Quest).

Hells yeah, and it didn't need no stinkin' MT-32 for music!





j/k, I <3 the MT-32.

Apple IIe for one reason:

OREGON TRAIL.

I can't begin to describe the awesomeness of that game.  It was also the first time I cussed at a computer/video game.

DAMN!  I broke another axle tongue and Johnny has Malaria again!  I always had the hottie in my 5th grade class as my wife...

Somebody needs to make one of those image generators for Oregon Trail, that has the tombstone and says "_________ died of dysentery.".

I wouldn't be surprised if it's already out there and I just haven't looked hard enough...

You left out the Pippin.  It is by far the best Apple...... for me to poop on.

Beyond that masterpiece, I'd much rather have a cheaper, more powerful, and more easily upgraded PC.  Silly me, but I'm more interested in substance than I am in style.

Just because of this post, I have edited Joe's poll with my mighty powers and have added the Pippin as well as the option to change your vote so people like me could vote for the best damn system ever made.

Apple ][ for Archon, Castle Wolfenstein, Lode Runner, Wasteland and (I'll stop there). Even better was all the stuff I made in BASIC / Pascal. Good times.

Of course, Apple IIgs was a great last hurrah!

Pirates! and Dungeon Master on IIgs = fun.

[FM-77]

Don't forget Ys on Apple IIgs!!

I liked that apple that used to play the oregon trail, but thats about it. I didn't start liking them again until the intel based ones came out. I remember in high school the apple computers really sucked and used to lock up. They were those funky colored imacs. Funny story, my friend bought an expensive ass g5 and then a month later apple released it with intel, lol. too bad for him. But I'm not dogging power pc it does fine in my game systems, and thats what really matters
