I Think A Craft Becomes An Art

I Started On An Apple Ii, Which I Had Bought At The Very End Of 1978 For Half Of My Annual Income. I Made $4,500 A Year, And I Spent Half Of It On The Computer.

The Program Should Know If Someone Is At The Keyboard Or Joystick Or If It Is Just Sitting There Idle. It Should Know If Someone Is Proficient In Its Use Or A Novice.

The Apple Has The Fewest Bells And Whistles. It Has Simple Sound And Few Graphics Special Effects. In A Way, That Is A Weakness Because Markets For The Other Machines Are Getting Bigger.

I Write My Programs Primarily For Myself.

I Have A Really Powerful Urge To See Things Work.
