An Apple IIe. Sat in my parents’ attic for years. Decades. And it works.
Put in an old game disk. Asks if I want to restore a saved game. And finds one!
It must be 30 years old.
I’m 10 years old again.
I never had one but what a lovely, funny little Twitter thread.
What a great little story.
Cool. still have one. still works.
The most impressive part is the disks still being readable.
There’s not a lot in an A2 that should fail over time; they don’t have the suicidal PRAM batteries early Macs did.
