Apple II History

In 1977, three machines ignited the personal computer revolution: the Apple II, Commodore PET, and TRS-80.

What if a personal computer could do more than just display text?

Early microcomputers (the Altair and its competitors) had some significant limitations, as was discussed last time on Apple II Time Slice.

Last time on Apple II Time Slice I talked about the origin of the Apple Computer Company on April 1, 1976.

On April 1, 1976, the Apple Computer Company was formed by three men – engineer Steve Wozniak, visionary Steve Jobs, and business advisor Ron Wayne.

It was first serialized in GEnieLamp A2 in 1992.

I have not looked at the Links page here for some time, and sadly some of them were far from fresh.

Gary Graham continues to create his modern recreations of classical Apple II items.

Years ago I was sent a PDF of the original Apple II Reference Manual, known as the Red Book.

Long ago I included a quote from Jerry Manock about what color was used on the Apple II series.
