Hi all,
My introduction to the vintage computer scene came very recently when I tried turning on my old Apple IIe for the first time in 20 odd years.
It sort of worked but filled the room with a foul smell, so off to Google to see what on earth was going on.
In the process of learning about dodgy power supply capacitors and how they can spew their innards all over the place (which mine had done) I discovered a whole new world of vintage computer enthusiasts.
I rigged up a temporary power supply for the Apple and it's working OK now. I've also got an Amiga 2000 and Mac Plus that need looking at too, so I've got plenty to keep me occupied.
It's been fun rediscovering these old computers and it's brought back plenty of good memories.
Cheers,
Peter
