> Where’s the Altair (s/w provided by galactic a**hole Billy Gates and his nice guy buddy Paul Allen), Imsai 8080 (great for blinking lights), and of course, the Apple I, released in summer of ‘76.

Indeed. And no mention anywhere of the IBM-PC, IBM-AT, etc. C'mon guys.

And I think you mean "Apple II" not "Apple I". The "I" was just a populated circuit board for techies. The "II" was the one that became popular.

Oops, no you’re right, they mentioned the Apple II. My bad.

“And I think you mean “Apple II” not “Apple I” “

You are of course correct and I was just rereading up on the famous “Trinity” made up of the Trash 80, the Commodore Pet and the Apple II.

Apple I was just a log that proved Woz could do a motherboard and not much else. Apple II made the company a player.

Hey, we’re all old now...fuzzy memories of those days.
