Apple 3 (1980)
When you’re looking for a home computer that will probably overheat and catch fire, look no further than the Apple 3. The successor to the hugely popular Apple 2 (see what they did there), this was a huge flop. Also, a genuine fire hazard.
Steve Jobs has that Alien like villainous thing going for him...even the sneakers. Spooky
lol the last thing bout jobs and his never changing wardrobe.
right-cluck? lol
In fact, I'm not sure what it is but it looks like an Apple ][ variant. Anyone else know?
dewshaft,
Mystery solved, picture #3 is a Lisa 2/Macintosh XL, which was a short lived successor to the original Lisa and a step to the early Macintosh.
some selections-
"apple newton" devices are always going to be short-lived. just like the latest thing that's in your pocket.
and criticising the hand-writing AI of the time is... allow me to say it- retarded. and short-sighted. and forgetful. as if hand-writing recognition should have appeared perfect out of the box and should not have had to undergo any transitional phases...
#3 is obviously not a macintosh portable, you moron. even for a person who had never seen a portable computer before, you should have enough brain cells to realise that #3 was not designed to be 'portable'.
i know, i know... this is only a glorified link that you posted. but as usual, one which you showed zero sense in posting.
(and BTW, i'm a dedicated PC user)
