why am I 'the mighty'?

For those who have followed my saga, you will notice that I have now updated many of my older blog entries to catalog them as part of the Lost Chronicles of Sarnia - for those of you not 'Fritter Critters during that era, the joke may be lost on you...

This is because I have begun a new chapter in my life and can truly say that my therapuetic venting has ended.

For closure's sake, here is what I am up to now:

Apple II board Rev A serial number 14

Submitted by gnickers on December 16, 2008 - 2:47pm

Cleaning out the basement i came across an apple II board that has never been used. It was in the box with the original letter for the last 2 decades - purchased from a supplier in New York.

The back of the board has wires! (that is what revision meant in those days)

Here is a pic:

If anyone is interested in this item, I can send better photos and additional info.

cheers
