I'm another dev whose first computer was an apple IIgs. I don't know if I'd be a dev today if I hadn't spent far too many hours poking around in basic typing in games from magazine, modifying them, and writing my own.

For purely selfish reasons -- what could Steve have imagined next? -- he passed far too soon.
