I'm just a bit too young to have experienced the Apple II firsthand (born in 88) but I love seeing aspects of classic computing, and would love an oppertunity to play with something like this. Thanks for the vid.

Thumbs up if after this you went to Apple2.org
-

@zxcv1234vcxz LPs might sound better- if they're in mint condition with no scratches or wear.
I presume by the 6502 computers for the Third World you mean the Playpower things (which are largely aimed as educational machines for kids)? That's the only one I've heard of. These are a good idea, though of course it would be good to extend the concept to more serious uses as here. And maybe make them available in the First World as well, though I doubt they'd have more than limited appeal.

That is cool! Thanks for sharing!

Web 1.0?

You expect me to take you seriously when you say "'LPs sound better' is a lie" when you claim to enjoy MP3s?
MP3s suck. FLAC ftw.

@Redfingers - "LPs sound better" is a lie and I love the lightness of MP3s and players. But I miss the 12" albums artwork of people like Roger Dean or Hugh Syme. Tiny pictures on CD liners don't compare.
As I said in another post, the 6502 chip in the Apple is out of copyright. $20 computers with low energy use could be produced for the third world using old technology. Bicycles are sufficient for Africa instead of cars, and cheap computers are what's needed, not high end game machines.

Probably because vinyl records are largely enjoyed by audiophiles....people who feel that vinyl/analog give superior upper bound audio playback compared to digital.
People who listen to 1950s music oftentimes prefer 1950s music due to superior songwriting or the enjoyment of a talented musician. Is it fair to say that Mozart is more appreciable than "In my White T?"
Alternately, I don't see what is making the experience of Apple 2 web browsing more enjoyable, aside from novelty.

@miraeja - So what's your point? You talk like this is a problem.
Nobody rags on people being nostalgic for classic cars, vinyl records or 1950s music. What's wrong with being nostalgic for the first generation of home computing?
