Uh, you can do that sort of interfacing on a PC or a Mac. It just happens to be a little harder.

Hello,

What's great about the Apple II? Everything. Especially if you've got a huge software, hardware, and manual collection (sorry to brag!) at your disposal.
Unlike the modern Mac, or…

I heard about the exploding batteries but nothing about case quality or anything like that.
Mind you I was wondering a little while ago why you never see any 5300s anywhere.

5300's are good machines.
I second the idea of upgrading the LCD to an active matrix one. I would like to find one and do this to mine.
They are so bloody cute. Then again so was…

All you need to hook it up to a regular TV is a composite video cable (the yellow RCA-type video cable). You probably have one of these laying around somewhere but if you don't you…

Documentation for the II family was incredible. The Red Book told you almost everything about how the computer worked -- the only other thing that you needed was the 6502 manual.
