Back in 1990, I gave my parents my old Apple IIc when we switched to Macs. I just assumed that it had died and been tossed out or given away long since. But while helping my mother clean out my father's workshop, we found a box with the IIc, drives, joysticks, and assorted disks.

I brought it home last month and the durn thing still works! It does look strange hooked up to a 32" LCD (only tv/monitor in the house with composite input) with the 80 column display, but I did get to play GATO for the first time in 15 years. :-)
