Has to be the IIe

IMHO, it is the IIe, but I think I am biased since it was my first computer. I recently went home to my parents where the IIe has lived in my closet for the past 10+ years, and couldn't get their PC to work with my old MIDI keyboard (okay, I was bored) but I pulled out the IIe, found the right floppies, and I was in sequencing like a champ in a few minutes. Pretty scary config in my IIe

Apple IIe 128k
DuoDisk
4MB RAM (yea, read that 4! MB)
MIDI Interface
Parallel printer interface
Mockingboard (sound and speach synth)
SCSI card hooked up to a 5GB full height drive from an old Applie III (couldn't get that fired up though)

Ahh the good old days... IIe and ProDOS ;)
 
The ][ rocked. I've seen the I, but it wasn't all that useful or available. I had the original ][ and the ][+ and a ][e, but it wasn't until the ][ that I realized just how neat computers could be.
