The Apple 2 series of computers dominated the American home computing market during the 1980’s and early 1990’s. From it’s initial launch in 1977 to it’s final manufacturing run, Apple computer sold millions of these machines. Practically every school in the country had an Apple 2 and it was the one with a ton of games.Today, there’s still thousands of Apple 2 computers out there in the wild and, on any given day, several can be found on eBay or Craigs List. There is still a very strong and thriving programming community and several great emulators available. Heck someone even created a video for the rock band Granddaddy using an Apple 2e.
