Are they trying to give the impression that this is the moment that caused the rival between Apple and Microsoft?

Pirates of Silicon Valley is one of the greatest movies ever. They must release it on DVD.

R.I.P. Steve Jobs, you brilliant, sad artist. Insanely great. The things you've done, created, and inspired will dwarf Henry Ford.

@superdave31 Apple didn't have a real OS at the time. If things hadn't been the way they are now, Windows could have been running on Mac for quite some time.

I'm not quite sure but I think the first Apple][s had integer basic, a basic created by Apple (not Applesoft).

Not many was, but the Apple ][ was incredible for its time: color, graphics, sound, upper/lower case, room for seven/eight expansion cards, even today it is amazing.
