- hashtag 12y agoI have a similar passion for both but often to struggle to grasp things at a similar high level by far
- snori74 12y agoReally? Not sure what makes you think that. The Apple II is one of a number of machines at the time that had the system-unit-plus-keyboard as a base on which a matching monitor was put. The HP 9845A and PET 2001 for example. Later CP/M systems often had the system unit built into the monitor - and sometime the keyboard as well in systems like the Intertec Superbrain.
- spacecowboy_lon 12y agoCompared to the ZX80 the apple ][ was fairly large - though I always wnted one of the perspex covers that showed off the expansion cards. though back in the day it was the PET's that where big - though some of the CPM systems could be bulky
