price, for nothing else than the color. I picked up a IIc+
not knowing it was the fastest Apple II built, and that to me
makes it sorta collectable. Now if I could find the LCD
display for it, I'd really have something.
The IIc+ had an LCD display? I've got a IIc+ but nothing to run on it since
it has the 3 1/2" drive instead of the 5 1/4"......any pix or info on the
LCD?
Almost forgot, the early Lisas are commanding pretty
good
prices on e-pay, but that is an exception. The later Lisas
were upgraded to Mac O/S, and they aren't as valuable.
This is the point I chip in with a gnashing-of-teeth-style tale of woe.
Yesterday I picked up a nice condition ][GS with screen/floppies etc from an
ex-apple dealer, and he told me that he'd thrown out/skipped/smashed/burned
Mac 128s, Mac 512s, Lisa parts, *hundreds* of Lisa manuals including LisaOS
on twiggys, boxes of twiggy disks etc....
5 months ago.
Still, he gave me a Lisa lapel badge so that's ok :-/
Now excuse me while I go off to weep into me beer.....
