Still have an Apple ][?

How about the software you used for it? Perhaps Carnegie Mellon can help, they (sorta) have 'an app for that'!

I actually do have an old Apple IIc in the dungeon of my basement; the nice little matching display has passed away and it would take some doing to get a television to work on it!

Yes, most new TV's don't even have antenna connections! :dntknw:

I think I've mentioned it here but I'll repeat it anyway:
I once carried around an Apple ][e in a huge hard-side suitcase. At least when I secured a weekend layover (Sat morning through Monday evening) when I flew for FedEx. The hotel had "cable" TV's in the room, but the box still connected to the "Ant." connections. Soon after I connected the ][ via the TV signal adaptor, I had a knock on the door (despite the 'Do Not Disturb' sign). The hotel had noticed that the TV had "disappeared"! :whistling: :doh: I'm not sure how they thought a "guest" would get out of the building with the rather large, 80 pound, cathode tube TV! Better safe than sorry. Perhaps they feared they would be sued if the thief hurt his back while carrying the TV?! :rofl: :eusa_dance:
