So - I throw it to the list - As a background
statement showing that
Apple existed and sold a predecessor in small
volumes for a time
before the Apple-II ... Is my posting above
non-factual? If so, in
what way, and can you provide supporting
documentation?
Please keep in mind that I do not wish to post a

only a single paragraph as a way of introducing th

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me and, whilst
have I no knowledge about the A1's sales
figures, the other fact's all seem to be
correct. I seem to recall reading about the
Apple 1 in either one of my 80 Microcomputing
mags or, possibly more likely, the book
On The Edge: The Spectacualr Rise and Fall
Of Commodore (published last year).
Personally, I think it's good to mention rival
computers and/or previous models when talking
about specific computers.
I can see nothing wrong with what you have
put and can only say that you have
unintensionally rattled a KIM-1 fan.
