Well that's something no user wants to hear. I picked up my Apple IIe at a recycling event today. I powered it up for the second time ever. Got it all hooked up to the monitor, got it all adjusted to a gray screen with white text reading "Apple II" That's when I hear it. *POP* The image on the screen did not change at all. I quickly unplugged the unit and carried it to the linoleum floor of my kitchen and opened the unit. A small gray wisp of smoke was flowing up from the power source, with that unmistakable sickeningly sweet smell of fried electronics. Now I am left scratching my head. What just happened?

Now onto my Mac IIsi, lets hope that doesn't blow up
