Apple II was the first computer I used for a job — boardgame and roleplaying game design. Word processing was the name of the game. I worked doing this over summers and holiday breaks from Carnegie Mellon, c. 1982-1986. The Apple IIe had 64k RAM, expandable to 1MB. The CPU was a 1MHz 6502. Pretty much everything was green on screen, unless you used the 8 or 16 color palette. By the time I graduated, the Apple IIe's and IIc's had already given way to Apple Macintoshes. Specifically the Macintosh Plus. They began at 1MB RAM, expandable to 4MB. The 68000 was clocked at 8 MHz. Of course, you were relegated back to black and white graphics. The Mac II, from 1987, could be expanded to 8MB RAM. Its 68020 clocked at 16MHz. And it supported 256 COLORS and a crazy thing called a hard drive. There was so much advancement during this period. Utter leapfrogging. It was a great time to be part of the computing revolution.
