I did see an original 1977 Apple II computer at a museum running integer basic and I must admit integer basic whilst limited is a good programming language for the time

At the end of the 80''s, I designed a device called "TAO" with a 6502 assembler

Wozniak used the last bit in the video processor register to enable colour. Normally you would have needed at least 16kb to get four colours, the Apple would do it with just 4kb.

Unfortuneately, this meant that everything was based on multiples of 7 rather than 8, making it an absolute pig to program and very difficult to connect to the internet.

My Chemistry teacher STILL uses it to simulate the effects of acids and bases.

My neighbor authored a sound program for this machine that played "Oh Canada" with amazing clarity! I played it in class in high school ( 1980), and my teacher and class were in awe. Somewhere along the way, my Apple II+ failed, ruined the program and prevented me from getting a printout. My neighbor sold his machine over 20 years ago.

I had s/n000105.
1977.
I did computer animation in 1980s!

Also... In my Flickr pics.... The simulated leather Apple $$ bag!
Yes... The Apple $$ was a LUGGABLE pc!

When I was in high school, I had my dad for chemistry. He used to use the Apple II in conjunction with his spectrometer for his Chemistry II classes that he taught.

The high school I go to had one of these when I was in 8th grade, until the motherboard went bad, and I was given it for free. Basically, I took it for parts. Also, the Apple II didn''t have a floppy disk drive until 1977, and before that was the 10 or 20 minute loading times off cassette tape. It was a nightmare because the tapes wouldn''t load when the volume and tone controls weren''t set right. It took 10 or 20 times for it to work properly. With the floppy disk, all of that went away, and loading times went down to 20-30 seconds.

You seem to be forgetting the Apple-1, Link.

Hey I have a MySpace Check it out!

The First PC. The 'microcomputers' that came before it had toggle switches and blinking lights instead of keyboards; the PET and TRS-80 that were its contemporaries were neither as expandable, nor as successful.
