TCD-SCSS-T.20170830.008 Accession Date AccessionIndex: TCD-SCSS-T.20170830.008 Accession Date: 30-Aug-2017 Accession By: Prof.Doug Leith Object name: Apple Macintosh SE Vintage: c.1987 Synopsis: 4th generation classic Apple Macintosh SE, Model: M5001AP, S/N: C7440V2M5011. Description: The Apple Macintosh SE was introduced in Mar-1987 as the successor to the Macintosh Plus, three years after the original Macintosh 128k, two years after the Macintosh 512k, and one year after the Macintosh Plus. It had an 8MHz MC68000 with 1MB of memory (expandable to 4MB), a 20MB hard disk and an 800kB double- sided floppy disk. It was the first Macintosh with an internal hard disk (or a second floppy disk), and the first with an expansion slot for accelerators. It was also the first to support the Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) connectors for keyboard and mouse, the D-type connector for SCSI, and a fan for cooling, although it retained the same 9-inch 512 x 342 monochrome display as previous models. Keyboards were sold separately. This item has the beige exterior predating the 1987 change to grey exteriors. It remained in production until Oct-1990, and was supported by OSes up to System 7. A conservation concern is the internal 3.6 V lithium battery, which can corrode and cause motherboard damage. This model is the 4th of the line of classic Apple Macintoshes, with iconic styling and ease of use (easy enough for a child to use) that was hugely appreciated by users, greatly contributing to Apple's devoted fan base. That Excel and Powerpoint (and the first GUI version of Word 1) were developed for Macs, also strongly contributed. Many thanks to Doug Leith for donating this item.

  • The History of Apple Inc
    The History of Apple Inc. Veronica Holme-Harvey 2-4 History 12 Dale Martelli November 21st, 2018 Apple Inc is a multinational corporation that creates many different types of electronics, with a large chain of retail stores, “Apple Stores”. Their main product lines are the iPhone, iPad, and Macintosh computer. The company was founded by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak and was created in 1977 in Cupertino, California. Apple Inc. is one of the world’s largest and most successful companies, recently being the first US company to hit a $1 trillion value. They shaped the way computers operate and look today, and, without them, numerous computer products that we know and love today would not exist. Although Apple is an extremely successful company today, they definitely did not start off this way. They have a long and complicated history, leading up to where they are now. Steve Jobs was one of the co-founders of Apple Inc. and one of first developers of the personal computer era. He was the CEO of Apple, and is what most people think of when they think ”the Apple founder”. Besides this, however, Steve Jobs was also later the chairman and majority shareholder of Pixar, and a member of The Walt Disney Company's board of directors after Pixar was bought out, and the founder, chairman, and CEO of NeXT. Jobs was born on February 24th, 1955 in San Francisco, California. He was raised by adoptive parents in Cupertino, California, located in what is now known as the Silicon Valley, and where the Apple headquarters is still located today.

  • Gestalt Manager 1
    CHAPTER 1 Gestalt Manager 1 This chapter describes how you can use the Gestalt Manager and other system software facilities to investigate the operating environment. You need to know about the 1 operating environment if your application takes advantage of hardware (such as a Gestalt Manager floating-point unit) or software (such as Color QuickDraw) that is not available on all Macintosh computers. You can also use the Gestalt Manager to inform the Operating System that your software is present and to find out about other software registered with the Gestalt Manager. The Gestalt Manager is available in system software versions 6.0.4 and later. The MPW software development system and some other development environments supply code that allows you to use the Gestalt Manager on earlier system software versions; check the documentation provided with your development system. In system software versions earlier than 6.0.4, you can retrieve a limited description of the operating environment with the SysEnvirons function, also described in this chapter. You need to read this chapter if you take advantage of specific hardware or software features that may not be present on all versions of the Macintosh, or if you wish to inform other software that your software is present in the operating environment. This chapter describes how the Gestalt Manager works and then explains how you can ■ determine whether the Gestalt Manager is available ■ call the Gestalt function to investigate the operating environment ■ make information about your own hardware or software available to other applications ■ retrieve a limited description of the operating environment even if the Gestalt Manager is not available About the Gestalt Manager 1 The Macintosh family of computers includes models that use a number of different processors, some accompanied by a floating-point unit (FPU) or memory management unit (MMU).

  • From 128K to Quadra: Model by Model
    Chapter 12 From 128K to Quadra: Model by Model IN THIS CHAPTER: I What the specs mean I The specs for every Mac model ever made I Secrets of the pre-PowerPC Mac models I Just how much your Mac has devalued Yes, we’ve already been told that we’re nuts to attempt the next two chapters of this book. Since 1984, Apple has created more than 140 different Mac models — including 35 different PowerBooks and 53 different Performas! Each year, Apple piles on another dozen or so new models. By the time you finish reading this page, another Performa model probably will have been born. So, writing a couple of chapters that are supposed to describe every model is an exercise in futility. But we’re going to attempt it anyway, taking the models one by one and tracking their speeds, specs, and life cycles. This chapter will cover all the Apple Macs — both desktop and portable models — from the birth of the original Macintosh 128K to the release of the PowerBook 190, the last Mac ever made that was based on Motorola’s 68000-series processor chip. When you’re finished reading this chapter, you will be one of the few people on Earth who actually knows the difference between a Performa 550, 560, 575, 577, 578, 580, and 588. 375 376 Part II: Secrets of the Machine Chapter 13 will cover every Power Mac — or, more accurately, every PowerPC-based machine (those with four-digit model numbers) — from the first ones released in 1994 to the models released just minutes before this book was printed.

  • APPLE RAČUNALA Tvrtka Apple Stara Je Preko 35 Godina, a Osnovao
    APPLE RAČUNALA Tvrtka Apple stara je preko 35 godina, a osnovao ju je među ostalima, Steve Jobs. Vrijednost Applea sedamdesetih godina bila je približno 220 milijuna dolara. I Danas je Apple među najskupljim tvrtkama, s tržišnom vrijednošću od oko 340 milijardi dolara. Razvoj Appleovih proizvoda: o Sredinom sedamdesetih godina Apple je pokrenuo pravu revoluciju osobnih računala. Prvo s računalima Apple I i Apple II, nešto kasnije s računalom Lisa i naposljetku s serijom računala Macintosh. o Računala Apple I i Apple II osvojili su tržište. Apple je prvi krenuo i,sve do dolaska IBM-a početkom osamdesetih, praktički i nije imao konkurenciju. o Prvi pravi proboj Apple računala kreće sa serijom računala Macintosh. Prvi Macintosh zvao se Macintosh 128k. U seriji Macintosh ističe se i jedan od prvih prijenosnih računala –Macintosh Portable. o 1998. godine iMac, koji zamjenjuje seriju Macintosh, pokreće Appleove proizvode prema naprijed. Novi dizajn, osvježeni OS i hardver bili su presudni. Za dizajn je zaslužan Jonathan Ive, a Jobs inzistira na koliko – toliko dobrom hardveru. Po pitanju hardvera, nakon iMac-a, ne događaju se velike stvari, ali se u tajnosti razvija Mac OSX (2001.). o Prekretnicom za Apple se smatra 2002. godina koja je obilježena prodajom iPoda. Godinu dana kasnije iTunes je izašao na tržište. o iMac danas predstavlja sam vrh računalne tehnologije (bazira se na Intelovim procesorima).

  • Apple Timeline 1975-1990 Digital Preservation-MIAP 11/5/2007
    Leah Churner Apple Timeline 1975-1990 Digital Preservation-MIAP 11/5/2007 Apple history overview I. Scope: This timeline covers the history of Apple computer from the late 1970’s to 1990. It tracks the technological changes within Apple’s four major product lines during the period, the Apple II, Apple III, Lisa and Macintosh. II. Terms: Expandability- Extent to which users are able to add extra memory and secondary data storage to a particular computer model. Generally this referred to the number of expansion slots on the motherboard into which expansion cards could be added. This involved disassembling the case of the computer and was considered the purview of advanced users. As a result, computers designed for non-programmers among the general public, such as the original Mac, had a “closed architecture” that didn’t provide expansion slots. Microcomputer – Tiny in comparison to room-sized minicomputers, the first microcomputers fit on a tabletop. A microcomputer is an electronic device consisting of consisting of a power supply and a printed circuit board containing a central processing unit (microprocessor) and memory chips for input and ouput. Personal Computer – As originally conceived, a "personal computer" was a microcomputer designed to be operated by a single person. Until the mid-1980’s, the term “PC” was specifically reserved for business computers, as home computers were generally assembly-kit machines used for video games or hobby programming. Memory: a medium or device capable of receiving, retaining, and outputting data in binary form. More specifically “memory” refers to main or primary data storage and transmission (ROM and RAM) rather than secondary or auxiliary storage and transmission (via floppy disks and hard disks).

    Volume IV | ISSN: 2394 – 9961 e-ISSN :2454 – 7034 PERSPECTIVA A Case Research Journal Volume IV (2018) The love-hate relation with innovation – A case of Apple Aadithyaa 1 and Vijay Prakash Misra 2 1 Student, Symbiosis centre for Management Studies, Pune 2 Associate Professor, Symbiosis centre for Management Studies, Pune Abstract Someone rightly said, “Great things have humble beginnings”, so did Apple Inc. in the form of a small Los Altos garage where Ronald Wayne, Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs founded the then Apple Computer Company on 1st April 1976. Today, that Los Altos garage is designated as a historic site in The United States and Apple Inc. has become one of the world’s most valuable brands (Madeline Farber, 2017). This rise can be attributed to many factors like suitable business environment, strong management, good investments, innovations etc. In this case study we study the factor of innovation in isolation and its effect on the fortunes of the company. This case study focuses on the three biggest innovations by the tech giant and the products which were responsible for the innovations and revolutions which followed while making Apple what it is today. The first innovation analyzed here is the “Graphical user interface”, which will be studied with the product launches of Lisa and Macintosh in the 1980’s. The second innovation analyzed here is the “Applications” with references to VisiCalc, Adobe PageMaker, LaserWriter and iTunes. The third innovation analyzed here is the “iSeries” which will be studied with the product launches of iMac, iPod etc. This case study comprehensively studies these three innovative benchmarks set by Apple Inc.

The audience of this paper is anyone who has an interest in innovative computing technology and wants to learn a little about Apple Computer's brief foray into this area via the Lisa computer. This paper hopes to show why the Lisa was significant in its time and how some of what was called "Lisa Technology" is slowly migrating to other computer systems, mainly the Apple Macintosh computer series. The author has never worked for Apple and as such is not privy to any insider secrets about this machine. All facts contained herein were obtained from Apple's cornucopia of Lisa literature, Apple's Macintosh literature, discussions with other Lisa owners, and my personal involvement with and close observations of both machines since 1984. This paper is loosely based upon the excellent article "The Legacy of the Lisa" (MacWorld magazine, Sep.
