To my knowledge, there is only one person that claims to
have a cartridge for the APL on the VideoBrain. He considers it
more valuable than gold and won't let anyone look at it or
dump its contents.
Such code running on a VideoBrain would surely warrant the /S
label for "Small".

I have a tiny APL that was written for the 8080 someplace.
It has input that use ASCII keyboard input instead of the
funny characters.
I played with it a little on my IMSAI. The fellow had hand
written and assembled it by hand.
Not something I'd ever like to do.

Two computer industry pioneers died in the past week.
Harry Huskey worked on ENIAC, the Pilot ACE, SWAC, and the Bendix G-15.
He was also known for helping overseas universities start their CS
programs. Harry was 101.
Bob Taylor was an ARPAnet pioneer and Xerox PARC executive. He was 85.
