I want to get an old school apple, like a II series or something similar. I want it for in my office as sort of a decoration.

I had the idea that I could power it on occasionaly, and get an image to be displayed on screen. Perhaps a pixelated version of our logo for when customers come in :)

I am not experienced with these older systems and have no idea about how I would go about displaying an image full-screen on it.

What image formats would they open?
How would I even open it?

Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks

Very cool. :-)

What's your logo? Someone would need to adapt it to the lo-res or hi-res screen, and that could be done with emulators even before you get your hands on real hardware.
