So what about the famous Apple ][ series?

By carefully prying with a thin flat head screwdriver. The Apple IIc has plastic clips holding the cover together.

Aargh! I got all the screws out, but I can't get the case off! It seems to be sticking near the spacebar, in the center front. Any good ways to get the case off?

Did you try dropping it a few inches with the handle down? That usually pops it apart without leaving marks.

I managed to get the case off (I did end up gouging the casing a tiny bit) but after a look at the interior I realized that opening it up again anytime soon won't be necessary.

This Apple IIc, despite having a dirty outside, has a pristine interior! Shiny logic board, no signs of leakage...and I even cleaned the casing and keyboard, so now the whole thing looks pristine!

So now I need a power supply so that I can see what this thing can do!

I've heard you can run a IIc off a 12v car battery... just a thought.

Umm...no, I think I'll pass on that one.

Very interesting...I suppose if the voltage is correct it may work though.

I know this is somewhat off-topic, but since car batteries have been brought up, does anyone know of a good tutorial online that shows how to disconnect the cable from a car battery to reset a fluke check engine light?
