1976 Polaroids of an Apple-1 Resurface

Posted by timothy on from the instant-but-slow dept.

harrymcc writes "In 1976, Paul Terrell, owner of the Byte Shop in Mountain View, California, placed an order for 50 Apple-1 computers, becoming Apple's first dealer. Over at TIME.com, I've published three Polaroid snapshots of the Apple-1 which Terrell shot at the time. They're fascinating history, and it's possible they're the oldest surviving photos of Apple products."

    /. was a news aggregation site catering to geeks, now it's just a news spewing site that has a masterbatory relation ship with the NY Times, Time mag, Murdock etc.

    I hope this fanboyism isn't slow and sloppy, Harry. The typical Apple-worshipping journalist doesn't know to work the balls, but it's an important fact that shouldn't be neglected. When posting non-news on a credible mainstream media source and promoting it via your own account on non-news-for-nerds, dropping the fact that you once met Wozniak on a tour of a museum just isn't enough. You have to work the balls, too.
