Computer Stuff

Yes, I'm a computer geek. :-) The first computer with which I ever did anything at all (and it really wasn't much) was a TRS-80 Model I back in 1980. The first computer on which I started to actually learn anything was my grandfather's TRS-80 Color Computer, beginning in 1981. The first computer I had at home was a TI-99/4A in 1983. My favorite computer line of all time, though, would have to be the machine that got me through high school and a good bit of the way through college—the Apple II. I still have the IIe my parents bought in 1985; I've upgraded it to where it's a completely different animal today.

Apple II Stuff

Apple Assembly Line Archive
Probably the net's most-visited archive for this publication, which delved into the nitty-gritty technical details of one of the most successful personal computers of its day, the Apple II.
Computist Archive
Created as a response to a comp.sys.apple2 post about binary posts that others have had trouble downloading.
Understanding the Apple II (PDF)
Linards Ticmanis scanned this book and sought some hosting sites for it. I grabbed the file from one of those sites and have mirrored it here.
My Apple II Software
This is some of the stuff I've written...most of it is fairly recent (relatively speaking, anyway).

Retrocomputing Stuff

My Retrocomputing Collection
As you can probably guess from some of the above items, I like old computers. Some people are into old cars (I have one of those, too), but old computers are cheaper to acquire and take up nowhere near as much space. :-) I'll start the page for now with a list of what I have and how it's configured; as time goes on, I might add some pics of the more unique stuff (like the "stealth GS").

Other Computer-Related Stuff

My Other Software
If it doesn't run on an Apple II or somehow work with an Apple II, it goes here. Currently, there's a little command-line music tagger.
