Today is Apple's holiday

Exactly 30 years have passed since their Apple II personal computer appeared on store shelves on June 5, 1977.

The Apple II is the computer that made Apple the driving force, then still, of the new industry. The original version was far from what we used to call a personal computer, but it is the appearance of the Apple II that we owe to all that we have at the moment.

Including a keyboard, built-in programming language - BASIC, expandable memory, color monitor, sound card and expansion slots, Apple II is similar to today's computers, as the Plymouth of '38 is similar to Cadilac Escalade. Perhaps a slightly flawed, but fully functioning device.

At a time when Apple dominated the educational PC market, it was the Apple II that filled computer classes in the US and even around the world. Some of these PCs are still in use.

Apple II is still the most successful PC ever created, and was released until October 1993, when Macintosh eventually did not send him to rest.
