in the office

The Apple //c was the second home computer I ever owned. I got mine in April of 1984. Not too long ago I grabbed a new mint-condition unit off of eBay and have set it up in my office.

Enjoy the pix.

Some of the pix detail my setting up the //c as a dumb terminal to OS X via serial link. So it sees daily use as an IRC terminal. Good stuff.
