Emerald Lake Dr, Grapeview, WA 98546 i A look back at the year past and the goings on within A.P.P.L.E. Last year went by really quickly and this month has gone by the tools they need to program in any language they wish on in a flash with a number of things going on in the Apple the Apple II, and to have not only the software but also the computing realm. The first item is the fact that February best-possible version of the manual, and in some cases marks the 29th anniversary since the founding of the making a physical manual available for the first time. A.P.P.L.E. user group by Val J. Golding. You can read more about our history at: www.callapple.org/about/history These new manuals are licensed from and coordinated with the original authors and benefit the original authors of the My first order of business to cover this month is to welcome packages. We have made it a goal over the past few years our new members and to thank our returning members. to ensure that the original authors continue to benefit from Also, just a public service announcement, but KansasFest is their software being available. And while they do not cost only half a year away now and we are already hard at work near what they did at the height of the Apple II industry, preparing for the 2017 rendition of the event. sales of the manuals still provide a benefit to both the consumer and the authors. One of the things I wanted to talk about this month is the return of the A.P.P.L.E. Programming Tools. We have been While there are some people now producing fakes on eBay working on bringing these tools back once again to the without regard for the authors and respecting copyrights, all forefront. of our books and software utilities / games are completely coordinated with the original authors in order to protect both With Robert Gallup’s Turtlesoft being our first package to our members and our users – and to do the right thing. return in its full glory with a new ProDOS version and These projects take a good deal of time, even prior to the redesigned manual, we also have GPLE, ProBASIC, software being produced. Our opinion is that all good Ampermanager, and DOS 3.3.5 among others making a software should be available with both the manual and the return to the A.P.P.L.E. library in the coming months – software and that the author should be remunerated. Sadly, exclusively for A.P.P.L.E. members. too many people do not see it this way. The goal of these items returning to the library is to ensure In the case of books such as What’s Where in the Apple: that the next generation of Apple II programmers have all of Enhanced Edition and Nibble Viewpoints, these projects took 2 far more time than almost any others we did because we had to re-scan the original materials to a quality which allowed for the best possible, yet still imperfect OCR quality. And after that, seemingly endless amounts of editing, creative expansion, and correcting legacy mistakes and omissions took a vast amount of time. While we here at A.P.P.L.E. do not take on any project lightly, our goal is always that we want whatever the project is to be a benefit to our readers, our members, and to the retro- computing community as a whole. With 2016 completed, we looked back and found that the number of new books and manuals were were able to introduce this year was greater than any year – five new books (What’s Where in the Apple: Enhanced Edition, Nibble Viewpoints, Colossal Computer Cartoon Book, Call-A.P.P.L.E. 1979 Compendium, Monitor Peeled), one updated book (The WOZPAK: Special Edition), and one redesigned manual (Turtlesoft). Whew! Oh, and let's not forget the retro game Structris for iOS! A.P.P.L.E. Presents: This was a wonderful accomplishment and great credit must Call-A.P.P.L.E. In Depth go to Brian Wiser for his production, design, editing, and steadfast checking for those nasty little mistakes that creep in. We have a number of other projects in the wings for 2017. Many of the new projects will be announced to our members through the members mailing list. If you are not getting your members mailings, be sure to check your SPAM filter. We have received notices of SPAM filters catching all of our emails and are currently working to resolve this issue for the long term. This year, we are expanding our software library as well. You will find both the new titles and legacy items in the library under the "Software" section of the website.

Pant Engineering College, Pauri, Uttarakhand, INDIA ABSTRACT In this paper, we're comparing Apple computers running Macintosh and computers running the Windows operating system. We also show the timeline of different releases of both types of systems. By this comparison, the usability and effectiveness of these computers are judged in different scenarios. Also, this paper contains the term PC which stands for personal computer and could apply to Macs, Windows machines and computers running other operating systems alike, we're using it in the common vernacular as shorthand for a Windows machine.

INTRODUCTION The Macintosh or Mac, is a series of personal computers (PCs) designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc. The first Macintosh was introduced by Apple's then-chairman Steve Jobs on January 24, 1984; it was the first commercially successful personal computer to feature a mouse and a graphical user interface rather than a command-line interface. The company continued to have success through the second half of the 1980s, first primarily because of the sales of the Apple II series remained strong even after the introduction of the Macintosh, only to see it dissipate in the 1990s as the personal computer market shifted toward the "Wintel" platform: IBM PC compatible machines running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows.

  • Apple Floppy Drives
    Mainly Neat Stuff --> Vintage Macintosh --> Apple Floppy Drives Apple Floppy Drives Apple produced a number of external floppy drives for the Apple II and early Macintoshes. This document contains images of some 3.5" and 5.25" drives plus notes on their application. Only drives sold under the Apple brand are listed; drives for PowerBooks are not included. Links to more detailed information on usage of each drive are provided at the bottom of the page. Usually it is harmless if the wrong drive is connected to the wrong computer, but some combinations will cause damage. Never connect an Apple II 5.25" drive to a Macintosh 19 pin floppy port. Apple II and III 5.25" drives are all 140K in size and use the GCR recording technique. GCR disks cannot be read by standard PC disk controllers. 3.5" 400K and 800K drives use the GCR recording technique. GCR disks cannot be read by standard PC disk controllers. 3.5" 1.4M drives can use both GCR and MFM recording techniques; the MFM technique is used to create 720K or 1440K PC format floppy disks. MFM disks can only be read/created by an Apple II with the "Superdrive" controller or a Mac with FDHD ROMs. 3.5" drives designed for use on the Apple II have eject buttons and pass through connectors for daisy chaining drives. Drives often have a paper label such as "Drive 1", "Drive 3" etc. This label is for the benefit of the computer user. Drives are identical no matter what the paper label says.
