Desktops1977Rare
Apple's landmark home computer, introduced in 1977 with color graphics and an open architecture that invited third-party expansion. The Apple II defined the personal computer industry for nearly a decade and is the machine that made Apple profitable. Software like VisiCalc — the world's first spreadsheet — ran exclusively on the Apple II and created an entirely new reason to own a computer.
