Robbie you are obviously quite young I was using an apple computer before
you could even tie you shoelaces.

The Apple 1 had bus speed of 1 mhz,  8kb of onboard ram and 32kb of ram It
was Steve Wozniak's first salable computer. It was not commercially
available outside the US. The first Commercially available Apple was the
Lisa. It was too expensive and few could afford it. The first real Apple PC
was the Macintosh and if you were a real Apple user this was what you called
their first usable computer.

I used the first Mac to design and eventually publish a news paper. I use
the first beta version of pagemaker and over 50 floppy disks. Sometimes
spending hours typing an article only to get ' Disk Full " leaving me with a
repeat performance.
I can send you copies of this paper copies of the following magazines I also
published on subsequent Mac 11 and eventually the Power Mac. So if you want
to challange me on the use of the Mac then shall we use this public forum to
do so. Send me you address and I shall send proof of many years of Apple use
and expertise.  I doubt that you can do likewise.

The Apple I was Steven Wozniak's first contribution to the personal computer
field. It was designed over a period of years, and was only built in printed
circuit-board form when Steve Jobs insisted it could be sold. It debuted in
April 1976 at the Homebrew Computer Club in Palo Alto, but few took it
seriously. The Apple I was based on the MOStek 6502 chip, whereas most other
"kit" computers were built from the Intel 8080. The Apple I was sold through
several small retailers, and included only the circuit board. A
tape-interface was sold separately, but you had to build the case. The Apple
I's initial cost was $666.66
