Wow, what cruelty! ;-) The Apple II was my first computer ever, and I spent 2 years playing computer games on it until they were oozing out of my ears. Then I got so fed up with them that I decided I'm gonna write my own. So began my journey into BASIC, and then 6502 assembly, etc.. A long road later, I ended up here with D. T -- This is a tpyo.
