21:19 🔗 SketchCow https://archive.org/details/VisiCalc_1979_SoftwareArts
21:19 🔗 SketchCow There, now it's better.
21:19 🔗 SketchCow The key is that the Asimov archive we have is superior to the TOSEC archive.
21:44 🔗 SketchCow http://ia601704.us.archive.org/zipview.php?zip=/13/items/asimov.apple.archive.2013.03/asimov.apple.archive.2013.03.zip

22:33 🔗 DFJustin these were some of my first exposure on how to use a computer in the early 90s
22:35 🔗 DFJustin or probably the IIe variation actually http://archive.org/download/asimov.apple.archive.2013.03/asimov.apple.archive.2013.03.zip/apple_II%2Fimages%2Fmasters%2Fmodel_specific%2FApple_Presents_the_IIe%20%281986%29.dsk

23:05 🔗 SketchCow https://archive.org/details/ApplePresentsTheIIcAnIntroduction6910016AApple1984
23:10 🔗 DFJustin it really shows how you had to start from ground zero explaining concepts like key repeat, delete, etc. at that time
23:10 🔗 SketchCow Agreed.
23:10 🔗 SketchCow I need to add something besides Atari 2600 and Apple II items, my go-tos. :)
23:10 🔗 DFJustin (some old people could probably use that now but no one seems to provide it anymore)
