Episode 3 – The Apple-1 Does It All
Early microcomputers (the Altair and its competitors) had some significant limitations, as was discussed last time on Apple II Slices. This week, I will describe how Wozniak’s Apple-1 addressed those problems, and made his computer more accessible to customers who did not want to assemble it themselves. It addressed the shortcomings of the Altair 8800, and was the foundation for Apple’s later big hit product, the Apple II.
Episode 2 – Five Early Micro Facts
Last time on Apple II Slices I talked about the origin of the Apple Computer Company on April 1, 1976. This time, the discussion is about what the earliest home computers were like, in the year before the Apple-1 was created.
