I still have my programming manual for the Apple II.

Apple ][ had Basic in the ROM, so he could have just booted to that and typed for a half hour or so. Hope there’s no power glitches in the neighborhood!

The Disk ][ was too boxy-looking for Steve Jobs, so isn’t in the picture. That, or they loaded this off the cassette tape. ;’)

Apple II. Not a II+, not a IIe. Came with 4K RAM. Upgraded it to a whopping 32K. Its video output device was a Sony Trinitron. The mass storage device was a tape deck (like a Walkman). I would program that thing for hours at a stretch.

We used to have competition to see who could make it do the most interesting display with only one line of (BASIC) code. Those were the days.
