@trakkerman2000 Portable Apple II pwer, there was a plethora of software over 10 plus years, think about it!

[MetallicBill]

I got a ][GS stashed away, serious lack of 16bit software, but I had to own one I felt, and I got the smaller drives but my Apple //c is virtually a laptop already, he should see about getting rid of the power brick and giving it an nice LCD display of modern vintage!!
