Back to 1986, I received my first computer, Apple Computer. I guess it is one of Apple II line-up (i dunno exactly…). It was equipped with a monochrome monitor, two 5 inches disk drives, a joystick and a keyboard. Back then, it was an example of state of the art computer. We could do complex calculation that a simple calculator couldn’t do. It had no hard disk, thus if you want to start the program, it must boot using an operating system disk, CP/M.

BASIC interpreter was embedded inside. I remember I did a really simple code in there. It was difficult to find resources on how to code BASIC.

LIST
10 PRINT "TES"
RUN
TES
OK

Now this ancient machine is stranded in one of my locker. Probably I want to try to run it again. I hope I can do it, it has been more than 15 years since its last service. Let see.

#andira: komputer yg di foto gw itu Apple atau bukan ya? gw juga bingung.. bokap bilangnya Apple pas belinya… gw ampe skrg aja masi gak tau itu bagian dari family nya Apple II atau bukan. soalnya udah dicustom gitu pas masuk Indo. Yang pasti masi gw inget, pas booting pake CPM bukan DOS nya IBM. It should be Apple yang pake CPM jaman itu.
