Resurrecting Apple I BASIC

Spiritual Ancestor by marriage, not blood. Apple changed family lines when they decided to quit making their own kernel and switched to the BSD/Unix kernel. I think that was the smartest move Apple ever made. It "freed up" resources which could be put into designing better products.

"Spiritual ancestor" in more ways than one. The 6502 was the processor in the Acorn Atom. Acorn made the first ARM processor; a design inspired by the 6502's risc-y ISA. Acron more or less became ARM and now license the IP that powers the iPhone's processor.

That's just a Wine box!

When my family visited Art Schawlow at Stanford in the early 80's, he showed us an Apple I that he kept under a table in his office. Although I don't think his computer had the classy cut-out "backsplash". He told me that he provided some suggestions for improvements to its inventors and builders.

Instead of "Applesoft BASIC" we used to call it "Applesauce BASIC..."
