Networks II
Net-Works II is a bulletin board system software package written by Nick Naimo for the Apple II. It was originally published in the early 1980s. For a time it was the most popular bulletin board system software for the Apple II, out of the dozen or so released. Development and history Nick Naimo (born 1945 in New York City) developed Net-Works II independently in the early 1980s as a member of Computer Station, a bulletin board system, BBS provider based in Missouri. He split amicably from Computer Station to work full-time for Advanced Data Systems, a start-up software developer in St. Louis, Missouri, who developed exclusively for the Apple II. Version 2.2 of Net-Works was released by the company in June 1982. While working at Advanced Data Systems, Naimo also served as city councilman for the suburb of Maplewood, Missouri. Naimo quit Advanced Data Systems sometime in 1982 to work for the IT department of a printing press in St. Louis before relocating in Newburgh, Indiana, to ...

Apple DOS
Apple DOS is the disk operating system for the Apple II computers from late 1978 through early 1983. It was superseded by ProDOS in 1983. Apple DOS has three major releases: DOS 3.1, DOS 3.2, and DOS 3.3; each one of these three releases was followed by a second, minor "bug-fix" release, but only in the case of Apple DOS 3.2 did that minor release receive its own version number, Apple DOS 3.2.1. The best-known and most-used version is Apple DOS 3.3 in the 1980 and 1983 releases. Prior to the release of Apple DOS 3.1, Apple users had to rely on audio cassette tapes for data storage and retrieval. Version history When Apple Computer introduced the Apple II in April 1977, the new computer had no disk drive or disk operating system (DOS). Although Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak designed the Disk II controller late that year, and believed that he could have written a DOS, his co-founder Steve Jobs decided to outsource the task. The company considered using Digital Research's CP/M, but ...

Applesoft BASIC
Applesoft BASIC is a dialect of Microsoft BASIC, developed by Marc McDonald and Ric Weiland, supplied with Apple II computers. It supersedes Integer BASIC and is the BASIC in Read-only memory, ROM in all Apple II series computers after the original Apple II model. It is also referred to as FP BASIC (from floating-point arithmetic, floating point) because of the Apple DOS command FP used to invoke it, instead of INT for Integer BASIC. Applesoft BASIC was supplied by Microsoft and its name is derived from the names of both Apple Computer and Microsoft. Apple employees, including Randy Wigginton, adapted Microsoft's interpreter for the Apple II and added several features. The first version of Applesoft was released in 1977 on cassette tape and lacked proper support for high-resolution graphics. Applesoft II, which was made available on cassette and disk and in the ROM of the Apple II Plus and subsequent models, was released in 1978. It is this latter version, which has some synt ...

Whole Earth Software Catalog And Review
''The Whole Earth Software Catalog'' and ''The Whole Earth Software Review'' (1984–1985) were two publications produced by Stewart Brand's '' Point Foundation'' as an extension of the ''Whole Earth Catalog''. Overview Fred Turner discusses the production and eventual demise of both the ''Catalog and Review'' in ''From Counterculture to Cyberculture: Stewart Brand, the Whole Earth Network, and the Rise of Digital Utopianism.'' Turner notes that in 1983, ''The Whole Earth Software Catalog'' was proposed by John Brockman as a magazine which "would do for computing what the original 'Whole Earth Catalog''had done for the counterculture: identify and recommend the best ''tools'' as they emerged." Brand announced the first publication of the quarterly ''Whole Earth Software Review'' at the SoftCon trade show at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans in March 1984. While both were published as an extension of ''Whole Earth,'' the ''Catalog'' was a large glossy book sponsored by D ...

Citizens Band Radio
Citizens band radio (CB radio) is a land mobile radio system, a system allowing short-distance one-to-many bidirectional voice communication among individuals, using two-way radios operating near 27 MHz (or the 11-m wavelength) in the high frequency or shortwave band. Citizens band is distinct from other personal radio service allocations such as FRS, GMRS, MURS, UHF CB and the Amateur Radio Service ( "ham" radio). In many countries, CB operation does not require a license and may be used for business or personal communications. Like many other land mobile radio services, multiple radios in a local area share a single frequency channel, but only one can transmit at a time. The radio is normally in receive mode to receive transmissions of other radios on the channel; when users want to communicate they press a "push to talk" button on their radio, which turns on their transmitter. Users on a channel must take turns transmitting. In the US and Canada, and in the EU and th ...

Integer BASIC
Integer BASIC is a BASIC interpreter written by Steve Wozniak for the Apple I and Apple II computers. Originally available on Cassette tape, cassette for the Apple I in 1976, then included in Read-only memory, ROM on the Apple II from its release in 1977, it was the first version of BASIC used by many early home computer owners. The only numeric data type was the integer; floating-point arithmetic, floating-point numbers were not supported. Using integers allowed numbers to be stored in a compact 16-bit format that could be more rapidly read and processed than the 32- or 40-bit floating-point formats found in most BASICs of the era. This made it so fast that Bill Gates complained when it outperformed Microsoft BASIC in benchmarks. However, this also limited its applicability as a general-purpose language. Another difference with other BASICs of the era is that Integer BASIC treated strings as arrays of characters, similar to the system in C (programming language), C or Fortran 77 ...
