Wouldn’t it be too embarrassing, I’d always hum (I’ve Had) The Time of My Life when thinking about the Apple IIe. Was about that time when I spent many an afternoon in the schools computer lab, hacking recklessly along in Pascal or Assembler. Or punching a second notch in cheaper single-sided 5 1/4” floppys to use them as double sided ones. ... Just remember … You’re the one thing … hmm hmmm hm
I wasn’t clever enough to modify floppies to whim back then. Although, I guess I do remember covering up notches with tape to avoid overwriting. They probably told you to do that much, though.
Anyway, I feel if me and the IIe had a love song, it would have to be something quintessentially 80s…perhaps “She Blinded Me With Science”?

This machine will have a special place in my heart forever.

Sorry.

Thumbs up for your impeccable music taste!
Just got an emulator up and running with Loderunner, Prince of Persia, Apple UCSD Pascal! :D Now looking for TurboPascal.
