<H1>Apple II Textfiles</H1>
With the introduction of the Apple II family of computers, the wonders of
programming, communicating, and just plain geeking out became affordable for
an entire generation of budding enthusiasts and their families. By the end of
the 70's an entire culture had risen up around the Apple II, and the energy
of thousands of hardware and software hackers went into learning every last
op-code and settable switch within the machine.
<P>
It can't be discounted that Apple's successful foray into the educational
market resulted in schools countrywide brimming with Apple IIs, and social 
groups collecting around the labs after school hours. All manner of things
happened there, some documented below.
<P>
These files range from explicit memory maps of the Apple II to long tutorials
on how to "crack" games, that is, remove all copy protection and make the game
easier to distribute between other pirates.
