    for the record you cant trademark a generic dictionary word like Channels...even if you could, Roku has had what it calls "channels" for years...netflix, hulu, MLB, and dozens of other content sources provide custom UIs that are launched from the Roku home screen.

    Oh, I know. I just do that to differentiate what I consider channels on the Apple TV from what channels on 1950s style television are.

    But, the instructor on one Apple ][ could give control to a student's machine, who then in turn controlled the BW monitor from his Apple ][.



    'Course it didn't take long for the students to make the system sing in ways that the instructor (nor I) knew were possible,



    OMG there's a name from the past I'd long forgotten. I used to instal them too. 5 Mb wow that was massive. I seem to recall we got 10MB or even higher at some point.
