Well... will have to find the program to check the dates, but the Apple II
was *introduced* at the opening day of the First West Coast Computer Faire
in San Francisco. (I was there - Jim Warren had some *great* stories
around that event!) It created the biggest buzz at the show as I recall...
And then there was that joke that Woz played on Jobs and all of the Altair
fans...
(but I'll get to that later)

I wonder if anybody here has the *exact* months of
introduction of the
three first *real* home computers introduced in 1977:
a) the Apple II
Okay, all sources for the Apple II seem to agree that it was introduced in
April, but what date? From memory I would've said April 17th. I decided
to confirm this with a quick web search and came up with two dates!
http://www.research.apple.com/extras/history/
puts the date at April 20, 1977 while
http://www.kelleyad.com/histry.htm
puts the date at April 17, 1977. Both of these sources have the
credentials to be accurate. Which date was it? Surely someone here
knows.
