How the Apple ][ works
🕑 Added 2023-10-11 01:50:48 +0000 UTCUPDATE: I reworked some of the video and fixed about 6 errors that you guys found during the first one.
Whew! I've been working on this for 6 weeks now. Of course, one of those weeks is when I went to VCF, so really more like 5. Still, this has been a long one! Hopefully you won't find any mistakes! But yes, I know there is a LOT of stuff I could have covered, but the video would have been super long!
Also, before this goes live to the rest of the world, I'm probably going to setup a single mid-roll ad. My adsense revenue has dropped ridiculously low. It's down to around 10% what it used to be during its peak. If it weren't for Patreons like you, I'd be out of business by now. But on such a long video like this, I think I can safely say I deserve at least one mid roll ad.
Still working on a thumbnail, that will come tomorrow.

Cool! It would be interesting to also do a video on how the Apple II GS works. I remember using Apple II’s in high school and being in awe of the Apple II GS when it came out.

Cool! Good job on the video! In the late 70s in 8th grade my JR High got one with all the aluminum can recycle money the school had from collecting cans. All us nerds were all over it. Learning basic and playing Swashbuckler and Aztec and of course lemonade stand. Then on in HS playing the original Ultima 1 when “Lord British” put it out via California Pacific Computer Company and for us AD&D players that was pure gold. Friend had the TRS-80 Model 1 and we played space warp and haunted house as well. Miss those days sometimes.

Thank you very much, I understand now also Adrian Black's videos about the Apple ][ much better ;-). Here in Europe, or at least in the Netherland, I guess they were never that popular... When I started high school in 1993, our "ancient" computers were later revision IBM PC/XTs with CGA monitors, already regarded way outdated then! I guess I might only have seen those Apples in the Apple Centre in town, but they were mostly selling Macintoshes at the time we came there.

A great look at the machines. I really enjoy these long form videos about hardware. In Australia in the 1990-1992 period the Apple IIe was in a lot of our schools, probably for similar reasons as yours.
