Apple’s second pc — its first to have a case — launched in 1977, and that boxy beige Apple II was quickly in all places: in lecture rooms, dwelling rooms and places of work. On the vanguard of a era of private computer systems to come back, it featured a specific and carefully-chosen beige. However what did that seem like? These first machines — those which have escaped landfills anyway — have shifted in colour over 40 years. The documented public file is sketchy and confused. However I stumbled upon a option to examine what Apple Beige was like.

Fascinating little bit of sleuthing, and a enjoyable learn in addition. Possibly not a very powerful side of pc historical past, however each bit of data we will protect is price it.
