Apple IIe + Twitter = Most Awesome

As someone that grew up using and learning on an Apple IIe, nothing heartens me more than seeing people still doing cool stuff with it. Everytime I see someone PEEKing and POKEing, it makes me want to fire up my old computer and see how much I remember about using it.
