The Apple ][ (II or 2)

The Apple II (tailored as apple ][) is an 8-bit home computer and one of the first highly successful off-the-peg microcomputer products, designed mainly by Steve Wozniak, manufactured by Apple Computer  and introduced in 1977.

In 2013, after more than 35 years of the Apple II released, the original Apple DOS source code can be appreciated at the Computer History Museum and its website.

 

FACTS

BREAKING NEWS!

WHAT'S NEW?

NOTES

Breaking News! I just found out that Apple sued Microsoft Corp. and the Hewlett-Packard Company (HP) because they had high-resolution screen displays on their desktops just like the Macintosh's. Apple has said that they have violated Macintosh copyrights user interface screen displays. I think otherwise because alot of companys should have the right to have high-quality products. I guess Apple really wanted to be a loner back then. More Breaking News! I made a new cartoon! You can watch it if you click here. Or, you can just simply scroll up. Even more Breaking News! Apple has also sued Samsung Electronics Co.,Ltd. You can see why on the Huffington Post if you click here. You can see the lawsuit between Apple,Microsoft and HP if you click here.
