As in other things, so in [computers], not the seller but the buyer determines the price.
--> Thomas Hobbes: [men]
Right on schedule, Apple delivered its first order of 50 Apple I computers, retail priced at $666.66 each. The price was based on Jobs' completely scientific approach to pricing known as P.F.A. (Plucked From the Air). And almost immediately, Apple faced its first crisis. Convinced that the numbers were satanic, a religious group took offense at the price and launched a concerted telephone protest. The release of The Omen , a movie in which these numbers played a significant role as the biblical mark of the Antichrist, further fueled the controversy. Telephone lines became so flooded that the phone company had to assign Apple a special circuit, usually reserved for radio contests. Reaction died down after the price was eliminated from retail advertising for the computer.

IIe
VERSION - UPDATE: 2.0.1 (March 96)
68k, ppc
README:
"IIe is a fully functional Apple //e emulator that supports all of the graphics mode, all of the Apple //e keyboard keys, and all of the currently available Apple II disk image formats. You can even access your 3.5" Apple II disks from your Mac's floppy disk drive! This version can also access any ProDOS partitions on your Mac's hard disk, and it can even save ProDOS files directly in any of your Mac's folders!"
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

VERSION - UPDATE: 1.2.1 e (06-14-95)
README:
"MagiC is a preemptive multitasking operating system which was first developed for the Atari ST and TT series of computers. It there became very widespread. It is highly compatible with most Atari software packages. MagiCMac is MagiC for Apple Macintosh computers."
"Horizon v1.0 is released (previously MacBeebEm). New features include faster Beeb emulation, full sound support, fast full screen display, proper Apple keyboard layout, better I/O file handling, much faster Teletext graphics and speedometer."

"This project consists of a piece of computer software which simulates the PDP-8 Central Processing Unit, used in mainframe computers in the 1960窶冱, together with simulated memory attached to the CPU. It also contains a symbolic assembler which converts a text file containing code written in PDP-8 assembly language into executable code, which can then be loaded and run on the simulator."
A bee puts to shame many an architect in the construction of its cells; but what distinguishes the worst of architects from the best of bees is namely this. The architect will construct in his imagination that which he will ultimately erect in reality. At the end of every labour process, we get that which existed in the consciousness of the labourer at its commencement.
--> Karl Marx, Capital.
In: Mike Cooley, Architect or Bee? The Hogarth Press. London 1987
VERSION - UPDATE: 1.0.5 (Dec. 95)
README:
"ﾂｵArchitecture Simulator models a microprogrammed processor similar to the one described in the book 窶彜tructured Computer Organization窶 by Andrew S. Tanenbaum. Its hardware components and instruction set are fixed (not too much, as we will see) but its microprogram is fully editable in a user friendly manner. The processor has access to a 128K Random Access Memory (it borrows from your Mac); you can easily view, modify, load or save this portion of memory. You can run programs and debug them with a step by step execution. Namely, you can advance by a conventional instruction, by a microinstruction, and even by a clock subcycle observing the internal parts of the processor.
You can work on only one document (microprogram) at a time."
"New since 1.0.4:
Accepts drag&drop from the Find File window ("promised HFS flavor"); updated the Internet menus; various minor fixes."

Q-EmuLator Lite
VERSION - UPDATE: 0.9.1 ( 12-29-95)
README:
"Q-emuLator Lite is a freeware and reduced version of the commercial QL software emulator for the MacOS. Q-emuLator emulates the QL's processor (the Motorola M68008) and redirects the basic QL I/O (video, keyboard, mass storage, sound, serial ports) to the Macintosh hardware. Q-emuLator runs like any other applications in the MacOS environment, without taking over all the machine."

Mic-1
VERSION - UPDATE: 1.0 ( 05-17-96)
README:
"This is a simulation of the Mic-1 microprocessor as defined by Tanenbaums text "Structured Computer Architecture". It runs at 40KHz on my 6100/60!
This is a good program to learn C++ from, and it's just plain neat because it really works! You can write in your own machine code (rather tediously) at it will chug and spew however you tell it to. You can cycle on demand, or cycle continuously for better performance."
