My first computer was a Franklin ACE 1000 [1]. I always thought it as a compatible Apple II plus. It is great how these stories run in parallel lines: on one hand the legal aspects, on the other, how Franklin reached an extended audience and change its life, personal and professionally wise. Externalities of "piracy".
Similar. My first computer was an unnamed Apple 2 clone from Hong Kong. There’s no way my teacher-salary parents could have afforded an authentic zone, but it turned me into an Apple fan nevertheless.
