A coincidence to see something posted on the Apple II. I had serial number 71, and I wrote the shitty little free Chess program that for a while Apple distributed on their Apple II demo tape. I was thinking last night how far Apple specifically, and technology in general have progressed since the late 1970s because I was reading docs and articles about my Apple Watch and experimenting with everything that I could do just on my Apple Watch: it runs a surprising large number of cool iOS apps (Night Sky being one of my favorites), can directly access the App Store, can locally store and play audio books, podcasts, music, etc. The Apple II was amazing and I really loved it, even though I stretched my use too wide for the hardware (I developed a commercial Go playing program in UCSD Pascal, and had FORTRAN on it also). It makes me happy to see people still hacking with old Apple IIs.
