[Blindapple] introduction

[Jayson Smith]

Hi,
Apples are not, in fact, larger than a modern desktop.  Either you misunderstood or whoever told you that didn't know what they were talking about.  Apples do contain more parts, as the CPU itself contains no disk drives.
The Apple IIe is larger than the IIgs.  Part of this is because the IIe case has to support a built-in keyboard, whereas the IIgs's keyboard is external.  The IIc is the smallest Apple, and the nearest thing to a laptop they ever made in the Apple II series.  With the small size, however, come some disadvantages.  There are no expansion slots, so things like the Echo must connect to serial ports on the back, of which there are only two.
Hope this helps.
Jayson.

  hey everyone, i first used an apple in grade school with an echo synth.  My favorite game was I think it was called aliens, and if any of you has acces to it i'd like to hear a recording of it again and even have the rom if it exists.  I don't think  it would work on an apple emyulator because i doubt they'll ever emulate the echo, but maybe it can be made to work.  Also, is there a way to make some kind of an apple2 laptop?  I've been told that apples are larger than the desktop computers of today so i don't have the room to put one in my home for only one game.  Thanks and best wishes,
  Jason.
