Charlie is the guy who wrote that awesome article about finding a working Apple II in some neighbor's garbage, asking for it and getting it to work. I still have it bookmarked. He inspired me to get a C64 (ok, I'm not a Real Programmer like him, so I got an emulator in a case that looks like a C64).
I wish him the best of luck. I hope he beats this cancer.
Yes, I love the look of that Raspberry and of course I want one. Do I need one? Of course not, but it would make me happy.
After booting up my fake C64 and playing a few games for nostalgia's sake, I'm still struggling to find the time to learn some assembly language for it as I had planned.
Did you ever find the time to do something with your Apple II? If so, you should really write about it. I really, really liked your blog post, I must have read it at least three times!
