Wow - good question, Ovid!

I remember using an AppleII (bought for VisiCalc tax accounting on the farm) to write mathmatical calculation progs for college.   Something about determining gain and linear portion of curve given Q and who knows what else.   Must have been amplifier transistors - how analog.   {grin}

Bet I still have those 5" floppies around somewhere, wonder if they're still good?   Hmmm... Debian has an AppleII emulator.   Hmmm...
