Retro Thing: Apple II Turns 30 Years Old

http://www.retrothing.com/2007/05/apple_ii_turns_.html

"June 5th will mark the 30th birthday of the Apple II computer. There were other affordable hobbyist computer kits available before, but the Apple II was the first computer that was ready to run out of the box. It's not surprising that an Apple II was the first computer that I used in elementary school since Apple made inroads with the U.S. educational system from their earliest offerings. What may be a surprise is that the Apple II was manufactured up until 1993 (with some redesigns and cost-reduced versions), with many still in operation today. Between five and six million of the putty colored machines were sold"

More thoughts on Dawkins' The God Delusion

The central chapter is "Why it is almost certain there is no God"

Upon completing this I find myself wanting to read Darwin's Origin of
Species. Read and understand.

My original idea that he conducts his arguments in a "smarty" way is
valid, but he explains why he's being such a smart ass: it is
important to understand that Darwin discovered a new way of
explaining why all this biological stuff which appears to be designed
exists without a designer. And he explains why he thinks we will
discover a similarly brilliant explanation of the existence of the
physical universe as well.

Dawkins really is smart.
