Heh, the very first Apple II I ever saw in the flesh, so to speak was one a friend got from an accountant she knew. The top rows and left hand column with the row numbers from VisiCalc were permanently burned into the monitor.

Re: using tv as monitor disables computer display

If you have High Sierra, that book will ship from Amazon.com later this month. Another series with good reviews has “MacOS Sierra for Seniors.” Their High Sierra version is also due soon.
