Celebrating 26 Years of the Apple ][

jgoeres writes "June 5th is the 26th Anniversary of my first favorite fruit-flavored computer. In honor of this, the Baltimore Sun is running Part One of a two-part interview with Steve Wozniak. When The Woz speaks, I listen. Perhaps it's blind hero-worship, but he seem to embody everything good & stable that his partner lacks. Don't forget to give the man props for his mad Tetris sk1llz, too."

If you know anything about this software, please reply.

Thanks,

I hate the Apple ][...

[Ziviyr]

Mainly because I think its inferiorness clogged up the market for the Commodore 64.

I may be wrong, But I feel that the Apple ][ was fairly useless in comparison.

Open letter to the linux community,

Dear LInux Peoples, I know the only reason for linux advocacy is to spite and harm microsoft financially. A secondary reason is to intentionally harm the old-school Unix vendors such as Sun and SCO. This behavior can and will be prosecuted under RICO laws as well as the PATRIOT II act(s). You Un-American, Pro-Commie, Anti-Israel non-combatants will burn in legal hell. Your assets will be forfeited. Your families will be humiliated. Cease and Desist now linux fags or lose everything.

Sincerly,
Coaltion to Stop Flag-Burning

P.S. See you in Camp X-ray, Gitmo.

Apple is dying. OS X is based on *BSD, so there can no longer be any doubt. Expect Netcraft to confirm it any day now. For all practical purposes, Apple is dead.

Fact: Apple is dying.

Actually while you are correct

[BoomerSooner]

in the greater context of the nation as a whole, you're wrong about why my parents became poor.

1. Divorce
2. Oklahoma economy 80% dependant on oil
3. Housing market dries up completely (my parents are builders of houses)
4. Regan economy actually helped no one but the rich.

So you are right it's just you left out the first three reasons.

Re:Woz is a good man

The reason those look like the Apple ][+ specs is that the Apple ][ and the Apple ][+ were exactly the same except for which rom they came with and the base amount of memory shipped. There was nearly no architectural change until the Apple ][gs was shipped. The IIc+ had a 4mhz processor (65c02 I think, or however they labeled that one) and the IIe got an 80 column card and extra memory by defaut. (btw this was all out of my head so excuse any slight inaccuracies).

My favorite computer growing up was an Apple ][+, a few years later I got an Apple ][c+ which ran appleworks and word perfect much better :) I used the ][c+ until I was a senior in high school to publish all of my papers for school.
