The copies weren’t as good

I am just commenting on what I have read about the comments made about the “Pirates of Silicon Valley”. My ex husband had been using Apple computers then the Mac since 1985, he was a systems design engineer.

When the “clones” started appearing, I had always stated that their OS reminded me of the Apple/Mac OS only to be told that I was the one that did not know what I was talking about. (That was by computer instructors) It was very reassuring to me to see it pointed out that the operating system for the clones was pirated from Apple. Something that I had always realized and no one believed.

To have been around in the era of when home computing was born, I find it to be an privilege and yet a burden at the same time. There are many out there that did not and still may not realize what went on in the early days of home computing…Deb L.
