                                    Apple

As in other things, so in [computers], not the seller but the buyer determines the price.
--> Thomas Hobbes: [men]

Right on schedule, Apple delivered its first order of 50 Apple I computers, retail priced at $666.66 each. The price was based on Jobs' completely scientific approach to pricing known as P.F.A. (Plucked From the Air). And almost immediately, Apple faced its first crisis. Convinced that the numbers were satanic, a religious group took offense at the price and launched a concerted telephone protest. The release of The Omen , a movie in which these numbers played a significant role as the biblical mark of the Antichrist, further fueled the controversy. Telephone lines became so flooded that the phone company had to assign Apple a special circuit, usually reserved for radio contests. Reaction died down after the price was eliminated from retail advertising for the computer.

README:
"This project consists of a piece of computer software which simulates the PDP-8 Central Processing Unit, used in mainframe computers in the 1960’s, together with simulated memory attached to the CPU. It also contains a symbolic assembler  which converts a text file containing code written in PDP-8 assembly language into executable code, which can then be loaded and run on the simulator."

                             µArchitecture Simulator 

A bee puts to shame many an architect in the construction of its cells; but what distinguishes the worst of architects from the best of bees is namely this. The architect will construct in his imagination that which he will ultimately erect in reality. At the end of every labour process, we get that which existed in the consciousness of the labourer at its commencement.
--> Karl Marx, Capital. 
In: Mike Cooley, Architect or Bee? The Hogarth Press. London 1987

VERSION - UPDATE:  1.0.5 (Dec. 95)

README:
"µArchitecture Simulator models a microprogrammed processor similar to the one described in the book “Structured Computer Organization” by Andrew S. Tanenbaum. Its hardware components and instruction set are fixed (not too much, as we will see) but its microprogram is fully editable in a user friendly manner. The processor has access to a 128K Random Access Memory (it borrows from your Mac); you can easily view, modify, load or save this portion of memory. You can run programs and debug them with a step by step execution. Namely, you can advance by a conventional instruction, by a microinstruction, and even by a clock subcycle observing the internal parts of the processor.
You can work on only one document (microprogram) at a time."
"New since 1.0.4:
Accepts drag&drop from the Find File window ("promised HFS flavor"); updated the Internet menus; various minor fixes."

This is a good program to learn C++ from, and it's just plain neat because it really works! You can write in your own machine code (rather tediously) at it will chug and spew however you tell it to. You can cycle on demand, or cycle continuously for better performance."
