The ghostly presence of a legend

At the end of my usual lecture today, I sneaked to the back of the classroom to take a peek at some yummy old electronic components... Little did I know - a well known consumer computer, yet to be dubbed a PC/Mac, was just standing there, and my eyes just started to open wide...

Yup, it's an Apple ][ !

Show your face, dammit!

And, there you have it... The sparsely arranged arrays of integrated circuits on a PCB next to a huge power supply that make up a piece of art. This Apple ][ version has an "Europlus" suffix next to it since it was modified to run on the PAL system and on the European standard voltage - 220V @ 50Hz. Everything else is identical to the original one.
