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."

    Look at the old keyboard in the pic. It's a bit sad to realize that it was probably far better than Apple's current stuff,

    You know, currently Apple is famous for products which don't have a keyboard at all.
