Happy 30th!…

Time goes by so quickly…

Today is the 30th Birthday of the Apple II computer:

Along with the old Commodore Pet and the TRS-80, the Apple II was one of the pillars of the early personal computer industry. It’s scary to think I went out and bought an Apple II when it first came out - and that it was an upgrade to my MITS Altair that I built myself from a kit.

Loading programs off of cassette tape and having a real monitor was an unimaginable upgrade from toggling programs in to memory via the front panel then watching the flashing LED’s.

Kind of puts everything in perspective…
