Apple II Personal Computer
The Apple II, which went on sale in June of 1977, was Apple’s “first big seller,” says Allison. “The Apple II is really best known for being one of the first to run a spreadsheet.”
Apple Lisa II Personal Computer
Released in 1983, the Apple Lisa was a lesser known, intermediate machine. “It was a very expensive machine—too expensive,” says Allison. It didn’t succeed in the marketplace. “But it pioneered many of the ideas that were later made cost effective in the Macintosh,” he says.
The Apple Macintosh
When the Apple Macintosh exploded onto the market in 1984, it was billed as “The computer for the rest of us.” Of the Apple artifacts in the museum’s collection, Allison considers the Macintosh to be the most significant. “The Macintosh really introduced the graphic-user interface to the world,” he says. A graphic user interface allows the user to open files and programs by clicking on icons or menu choices with a mouse.”That really pointed personal computing in a new direction,” says Allison. “It was outsold by the PCs when they came along,” he adds. The original selling price of an Apple Macintosh was $2,495. “There was that whole debate over whether computers should be design oriented or business oriented. The profitability for most of history has been on the business side, but those weren’t the cool things to own necessarily,” he says.
Apple Newton and the iPod
After battling with CEO John Sculley for control of the company in 1985, Jobs left Apple, only to return again in 1997. During his absence, in 1993, the company launched its first handheld device. The Newton, as it was called, retailed for $700 and had its bugs. Apple almost went under trying to pioneer handheld technology that essentially over-promised what it could do. ”They almost lost out by doing too much too early,” says Allison. As Time magazine later reported, “Jobs revisited the scene of the crime to reinvent the PDA for the internet age, and wound up with a few devices that would have made the Newton proud: the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.” The museum’s most recent Apple acquisition is an iPod. “I would say the Macintosh, the Newton and then the iPod really are all critical technologies in telling Apple’s story,” says Allison.
