Apple had their "Apple ][e" computers out about this time, and many schools were using those for teaching with the "Apple Presents Apple" application and its "Why l0 isn't 10" program to convert typists who used to use a lower-case el for a one and the capital O for zero (many manual typewriters back then did not have a one or zero key).
