Maybe he's trying to add sprites by pouring spirits (sprit in Swedish)
over the poor Apple. :-)

If he had a C64/128, it would never need to happen. Older VIC/PET are
however equally vulnerable as the Apple.

Speaking of EPROM programmers and erasers; I have a bit of money that
need to be used up and I looked into how much a modern programmer and
eraser costs.. Programmers starting at $320-390, erasers at $160.
Sheesh, maybe I don't really have that kind of need, or I'm looking
at the wrong places (ELFA in this case).

I do have an untested IEEE (1) based programmer that takes EPROMs of
the types 2516, 2716, 2532. I don't know where to obtain software though.
I would still need a way to erase chips.

(1) Or is it userport? The connector has a label that says IEEE, so I
     presume the former owner knew what he was doing.
