They very first piece of commercial Apple software — a primordial
flavor of BASIC originally released in 1976 that took thirty seconds to
load — has been perfectly and authoritatively extracted from a
yellowing audio tape and converted into a 38 second MP3,
playable in iTunes. Plucky, hyper-intelligent beardos are now
dissecting the file and learning its secrets, but their findings are a
bit above my head. You can read them in full at the link below. All I
feel worthy of commenting upon is the song itself, which is rather
catchy — a Music to Make Love To Your Old Lady By as interpreted by antediluvian 70s cyborgs.
