AppleSoft Basic. Ahhhh. Fond memories.

'course by the time I was programming them they had 5.25" floppies (no HDD). In fact I remember saying I didn't want a HDD (when the 10Mb ones became available) as they were too vulnerable to viruses.

I also remember being appalled that "Might and Magic" required 10Mb of Hard Drive space, just to install it -- now I carry around 4 Gb in my pocket. What a difference a couple of decades makes, eh?
