I'd forgotten about the Franklin Apple II clones. Also, no more Isaac Asimov.

It is outrageous what this stuff used to cost. Now I may not be old enough to remember some of the things being advertised here, I do remember as kid things like CD burners being well over $1000 when they were new. As we know CD burners are now virtually free.

This is a pretty funny image, though definitely fake, maybe it was an April Fool's joke on Apple's website once? I don't know. I like it though.noiseredux wrote:Um... "Pre-Order iPhone"??? WTF?

I do. the Apple Lisa and the Apple II e were manufactured in the late 70s, early 80s, long before there was ever an apple.com. It's obviously meant to be a joke. Apple nerds have a very peculiar sense of humor.
