The Apple II was not designed like an ordinary product. It used crazy tricks everywhere.

I knew the Apple II was great when I bought it, but as I dug into the details it just completely blew me away the creative artistic approach that the designers had taken.

It's really hard to compete with Apple on pure coolness, and if you do, you're probably going to use some of the things they pioneered.

My favorite computer of all time? The Apple II that got me started, of course.

Apple makes beautiful products. I own a Mac Pro, a Mac Book, a Mac Mini, an iPad, an iPhone, pretty much the entire collection.

The Apple has the fewest bells and whistles. It has simple sound and few graphics special effects. In a way, that is a weakness because markets for the other machines are getting bigger.

After the Apple II was introduced, then came the Commodore and the Tandy TRS-80.

Apple products aren't simple technologies by any stretch, but there is a beautiful simplicity to them.

There is no doubt that, since 1977 and the launch of Apple II - the first computer it produced for the mass market - many things which used to be done on paper, or on the telephone, have been done easier and faster on a screen.

Think of the first Apple II being shipped in 1977. It took almost a decade for it to land in my school where I could see it.
