| | Apple II family - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Apple II was one of the most popular personal computers of the 1980s. | | | One valuable lesson from the first Apple II computers was the importance of an open architecture to a computer platform. | | | The success of the Apple II also goaded IBM to create the IBM PC, which was then purchased by middle managers in all lines of business in order to run spreadsheet and word processor software (which at first was ported from the Apple II versions, and later inspired whole new application software franchises). |

| | History of computer design: Apple II |
| | Marketed towards consumers rather than computing hobbyists, the Apple II was introduced with an advertisement illustrating a scene in a kitchen, a man resting his hand familiarly on his computer as it displays a chart of the stock exchange, and a woman in the background smiling towards him from her own work at the sink. | | | Apple's ads attracted a far larger audience than previous mass-produced computers, and the development of software increased demand for the machine. | | | The Apple II was advertised as a "complete, ready to use computer, " and had an integrated keyboard with ports for a separate colour display and a cassette recorder for data storage. |

| | Apple II History |
| | Apple's objectives here were to introduce the Apple IIc, describe how it fit into the company's marketing strategy, show off new software that was made to work with the new computer, and emphasize that Apple was still firmly behind the Apple II line of computers. | | | This strength of the Apple II could also be considered a weakness, because it presents a major difficulty in making design improvements that keep up with the advances in computer technology between 1976 and the present, and yet maintain that compatibility with the past. | | | While developing the Monitor, Apple had used a local mainframe computer dial-up service known as "Call Computer." They used a cross-assembler on that computer, assembled the code, and then used the resulting object code to create the ROM. |

| | Apple II computer |
| | The Apple II was the first computer with a color display, and it has the BASIC programming language built-in, so it is ready-to-run right out of the box. | | | One month after the Apple II was released, BYTE magazine published an article about the Apple II computer. | | | This article was written by the creator of the Apple II computer, Steve Wozniak. |

| | In the 1980's (and into the mid 1990's) the Apple II computer series was one of the premier game systems in the computer industry. | | | This is a tribute not only to the Apple II but to the programmers (and their programs) that entertained a generation of users. | | | Despite it's graphical and sound shortcomings (especially with the 8 bit series machines), programmers always found ways to make the best games possible for the II series. |

| | One problem that we had to solve was that of getting 6502 object code files into the Apple II from our development system The development system consisted of a national COPS microprocessor with a 6502 compiler created by Bob Shepardson. | | | He replied that he had developed a floppy disk drive for the Apple II. | | | One day while visiting the Byte Shop (the first personal computer store), I came across a brochure and order form for the new Apple II computer. |

| | These files run on or relate to the Apple II series of computers. | | | A reasonable HP installation could fit on a System 6.0/6.0.1 disk if you compressed some of the files, and the time to boot was about the same. | | | You don't need emulated "save game" disks, because the files are written like any other ProDOS file. |

| | APPLE II FOREVER! |
| | While it is useless to speculate on the fate of the Apple II if development of a 32-bit compatible machine had proceeded, there is apparently lots of life in the old machine yet. | | | The Apple II was the first truly important personal computer ever. | | | There are some who dispargingly call the Apple II the "Model T" of computers, yet, in a way, they are right. |

| | Apple II |
| | The fact the Apple II was attractively designed and incorporated several new technologies not found in other personal computers, established the Apple II as a serious business machine. | | | The story of the Apple II's beginnings with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak working out of a garage in Silicon Valley is part of the personal computer industries mystique. | | | It included a full upper and lower case keyboard, and the ability to view a 80 columns, versus the II's 40 column view. |

| | It's designer, Steve Wozniak set out to build a powerful yet affordable computer. | | | The Apple II like the Apple I that came before it, was designed around the MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor which was available for around $20 in small quantities at the time the intel 8080A cost over $150. | | | The system was designed to attach to a television with the aid of a device called a RF modulator. |

| | The Mother of All Apple II WebRings |
| | One big item that is taken into consideration when I evaluate a site for inclusion into the Apple II WebRing is the site's usability with Lynx (the web browser that nearly all Apple II machines can use to access the World Wide Web). | | | Well, maybe it's not as spooky as J.R.R.Tolkien describes it in Lord of the Rings, but to an Apple II user trying to find the wealth of material online for their favorite computer, the World Wide Web may sometimes seem like the forbidding murk of Mordor. | | | Each site that is a member posts a graphic to their home page that links it to all of the other sites in the ring. |
