For example, it's an Apple //c, not a Macintosh //c, it was the Apple ][, not the Mac, that made Apple a commercial success and household name, etc.. There's also a nice photo of an Atari 800 (with Atari joystick), a Commodore 64 (with Commodore monitor) and two Disk ][ drives (along with the edge of the machine, perhaps a //e, that they are presumably connected to) but little mention of these nifty and pioneering machines.<br><br>Comments on the Lisa are misleading as well - expensive and sluggish it may have been in its first release, but it invented what we now know as the Macintosh user interface (pull-down menus, scroll bars, the Finder desktop, etc.) and might have prospered along with the Mac were it not for infighting within Apple. (Check out folklore.org for some fascinating Apple/Mac/Lisa history, most notably photos of the evolution of the Lisa/Mac user interface!)<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[partner]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 28th 2009 3:45PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
