Unboxing photos of "brand-new" Apple IIc!

Dansays on Flickr has posted this great set of photos detailing the unboxing of an unopened, never-been-used Apple IIc computer. I came across this and thought I'd share it with you all.

It's never been opened. Ever. It hasn't seen the light of day since before it was shipped on May 5th, 1988.

I remember seeing this on another forum when it was being sold on eBay about a month or so ago. The thing was going for about $2K I believe. Considering what was included, I would have even paid that amount for it. I loved my //c back in the day and I wish I still had it. Sadly, the logic board and power supply went south.....of course, had I known that I could just hold onto it and get parts later on I would have done just that, but I wasn't into collecting old Apple computers back then. Ahh, the blissful ignorance of youth...

Of course, me being the vintage collector that I am (at least in my head ), I don't know that I would have actually opened it up at all. Now it's going to be prone to yellowing after some years. God willing the new owner will take extra special care of it (although seeing that one picture with the cup of water next to the //c makes me wonder whether that will be the case ).

Aahhhh, yes....good ol' Lode Runner. I always wanted that game. I remember constantly playing Space Quarks which came with the system.

Oh, and my other favorite...Lemonade Stand!
