Steve Wozniak’s Baby

The Apple II series effectively launched the Personal Computer Revolution, and the Apple III is a fascinating failure. The Retro Roadshow is proud to have several beautiful examples for you to experience.

One of the rarest and most delightful items in the Retro Roadshow is this original Apple II. This machine is literally the second computer Apple released, predated only by the legendary Apple 1. This Apple II (model number "A2S1") dates back to 1978,

One of the rarest and most delightful items in the Retro Roadshow is this original Apple II. This machine is literally the second computer Apple released, predated only by the legendary Apple 1. This Apple II (model number "A2S1") dates back to 1978, and is a pristine example of Apple's first ready-to-use computer (as opposed to the "DIY" Apple 1, which was sold as a bare circuit board), and stands as a beautiful example of what made Apple so special in the earliest years of the Personal Computer Revolution.

Built in early 1983, this machine is a beautiful time capsule, as it still retains all the charm (and some of the technical limitations) of the first wave of Apple machines. Paired with an Apple Monitor III and external floppy drive, this Apple IIe is sure to bring a smile to your face as you play The Oregon Trail in glorious green-on-black

Sandwiched between the runaway success of the Apple II series and the later success of the Macintosh, the Apple III was Apple's first significant failure. Designed to appeal to business-oriented customers, the Apple III was an incredibly powerful and innovative machine when it was released in 1980. Unfortunately, the first ~14,000 Apple III systems suffered from catastrophic overheating issues, which immediately damaged the platform (and Apple's) reputation before being discontinued just four years later. While the Apple III is not-so-fondly remembered today as a $100,000,000 blunder, the Retro Roadshow's example works beautifully and is a great example of what Apple's brightest minds were capable of designing in the years before the Macintosh... warts and all.
