That’s an absolutely awful video. Loud, obnoxious, disingenuous and not even remotely as funny, informative, comprehensive, or clever as the idiot who made it thinks it is. It’s valueless content made to be ingested and served up by an algorithm.

1977, original Apple II with 8k, integer basic, and “the big red book”.
Surprised I haven’t seen any mention of the Commodore PET.
