My First Apple-Clone Computer




My first computer was the "Medfly", an Apple-clone designed in Germany and manufactured in Hong Kong.

I was told that the medfly is an insect which feeds on apples. So, the Apple-clone "Medfly" wants to gobble up the real Apple computer.

It was a wedding present from my father-in-law.

The "Medfly" was so buggy with lots of hardware and software compatibility issues that it had to be returned to the vendor in less than 2 months.

Subsequently, I was rewarded with a brand-new Apple IIe as a replacement.

The original Apple IIe was the cream of the crop; before the launch of the IBM personal computer.
