Can anyone recommend a quick, easy and simple newbie (downloadable) book, guide or web page for someone who's interested in getting started with the Apple II but has no prior knowledge or experience with it?
I have loads of manuals and so on I could recommend, but they're all pretty deep and technical (and time-consuming) to plough through. I'm thinking of something more like how to get started without having to understand everything first, and a little deeper info beyond that, when you've mastered the first steps of turning it on, getting a general overview of the machine etc.
Here's a new book that was written about eight years ago that deals with the Apple II series, available at Amazon:
