Newsletter #13 - Let's write some assembly code in macOS for Intel x86_64 Dec 13 2019

Hello,

I found an interesting thread on Twitter explaining that when the Apple II early documentation was being written, they had to tell people to differentiate between how they type using typewriters and how they’ll type in the Apple II computer.

I don’t remember the typewriters I used missing the 0(zero) or 1(one) key, but I see how it was possible to use O(oh) and l(el) to replace 0 and 1 respectively. Or if you made a mistake typing -(dash) when you wanted to type = you could move your carriage back and put a _(underscore) under it :). I thought you might find it interesting.
