Celebrating 26 Years of the Apple ][

jgoeres writes "June 5th is the 26th Anniversary of my first favorite fruit-flavored computer. In honor of this, the Baltimore Sun is running Part One of a two-part interview with Steve Wozniak. When The Woz speaks, I listen. Perhaps it's blind hero-worship, but he seem to embody everything good & stable that his partner lacks. Don't forget to give the man props for his mad Tetris sk1llz, too."

The reason those look like the Apple ][+ specs is that the Apple ][ and the Apple ][+ were exactly the same except for which rom they came with and the base amount of memory shipped. There was nearly no architectural change until the Apple ][gs was shipped. The IIc+ had a 4mhz processor (65c02 I think, or however they labeled that one) and the IIe got an 80 column card and extra memory by defaut. (btw this was all out of my head so excuse any slight inaccuracies).

My favorite computer growing up was an Apple ][+, a few years later I got an Apple ][c+ which ran appleworks and word perfect much better :) I used the ][c+ until I was a senior in high school to publish all of my papers for school.
