Tannenes got the code it's going to launch.

It's a unit system.

I know this.

It's all the files of the whole park.

It tells you everything.

Sir, he's uploading the virus.

Eagle One, the package is being delivered.

Hello out there on the internet.

I am Matthew Galt, and this is Cyber.

If you're watching or listening to the show, you are probably doing it on a device that owes its very existence to the Apple 2.

But these days, we remember the iPhone, 90s era windows, and even the Macintosh as these big benchmark moments in widespread

adoption of tech. But all those devices wouldn't be here if it weren't for the little Apple

2 board that could and the people who turned a hobbyist curiosity into a fundamental part of every household

in the world. That story is the subject of the new book, the Apple 2. That story is the subject

of the new book, the Apple 2 age, how the computer became personal. And with us here today

to talk about it is Lane Noonie. Noonie is an assistant professor of media and information studies at New York University

and the founding editor of Romchip, a Journal of Games Histories.

Thank you so much for coming on to the show.

Thank you, Matt. It's my pleasure.

So I love, before I hit the record button, I can just blow through that intro perfectly.

Then I have to do it while I'm recording and I stumble twice.

It always happens. Good times. Good times me.
