I worked a second job in 1984 to score an Apple //c! I still have it safely tucked away in storage and had an opportunity to fire it up a couple of years ago. It worked perfectly.
Beagle Bros...oh yes. I so loved their software. Those guys had such a cool, retro aesthetic and the code was so much fun. Like Monty Python, but for BASIC. Such great times. I wanted a Mac so bad though, but there was no way to afford that, even with two jobs.
Programming my //c in assembly led me 3 years later to my first programming job (I was a staff artist at a Children's book publisher) -- programming the Mac in 68K assembler! So I ended up with a Mac anyway, if only at work.
The //c was such a sweet little machine!
