apr 27, 1977 - 9. Apple II

Description:

The 1970’s the personal computer was born and brought about major change in how we know of and think of the computer today. A notable computer of this era was the Apple II, which had full color graphics. It was so popular, at the time, that over four million Apple II’s were eventually sold to consumers worldwide. Apple II was released in
June 1977. Some of its features included: a color display, a built
in keyboard, casing for the computer to protect it, a fully programmed computer, expansion slots (used for the expansion of memory, processing, acceleration, and graphics). Some computer historians say that the Apple II is arguably the first user friendly computer of its kind and the first practical business computer due to the programs built into it and the amount of storage that is encompassed.
