Jay Obernolte was a seventh grader when his father came home with a transformative gift: an Apple II Plus computer and a book on how to learn to program.
It didn’t have a disk drive or cassette interface — those were expensive, he recalled — which meant nothing could be saved. Any program he had learned to write had to be retyped when he turned the computer on, starting from scratch.
