Comment by flomo | original | How did Woz write the Apple 1 BASIC before building the computer?

My local teenager Apple crowd could get you almost any game, or disk copy utility, or etc. But never an assembler or complied Basic, or Apple Pascal or anything like that. I was insufficiently 1335.

Anyway, my career in writing 6502 machine code in pencil pretty much ended at "Hello World".

1335? Though to be fair you were very almost 1337...
