[SIGCIS-Members] Fwd: The compelling history of the personal computer behind an industry behemoth

Thu Jun 8 16:38:48 PDT 2023

While not an Apple II, the image on the cover is a Print Shop graphic
<https://twitter.com/Sierra_OffLine/status/1657778489070583809?s=20> -- and
purposeful, if Laine is to be trusted here! I think it's kind of
tongue-in-cheek for a book that is more about the *age* of the Apple II
rather than the Apple II itself.
