NOTES: This is the state of my computer collection, where I have had an LC II sitting on my pile for over a year now, and I have still not powered
the damm thing up yet. I had to buy it though, which is the problem with LCIIÕs in general. They are just so crummy for any type of retrocomputing
task, you feel bad about giving someone else such a crummy computer, and people are practically giving the things away because they are so common.
This LCII was particularly pathetic, it was covered in mud, sitting under this guys van, and it looked entirely possible that if I did not buy it,
the guy was going to drop-kick it into the nearest dumpster.
