Finally, readers will learn how to write their own applications to take



run on their new/old computer. *Written by the webmaster of AppleFritter.com, which is the most popular Mac hobbyist Web site on the internet with over 10,000 visitors a day. *Interest in vintage Apple I Computers is extremely high, with original machines selling for as much as $50,000. *The only modern-day book to address general microcomputer design from a hobbyist perspective.
