Lon Seidman, occasional sysop of the Matrix Returns BBS, recently reviewed the Apple IIGS on his popular YouTube channel. The 33-minute video covers such peripherals as the CFFA3000 and software including GS/OS, HyperStudio, Arkanoid II, and California Games.

Unfortunately, the Apple IIGS nearly went up in flames during the shoot, resulting in this "yule log".

Brandt begins with his early days learning to code on an Apple II Plus and continues to his tenure at Beagle Bros, Quality Computers and JEM, and through his experiences as the lead developer of the later versions of AppleWorks.
