The replica 1 is a functional clone of the apple 1 computer created by Steve Wozniak in 1976. The SE (Second Edition) at Briel Computers is now available!
Improvements to the SE over prior revision replica 1's are as follows:
• Built on serial interface.
• Built on power switch and LED light.
• ATX connector.
• DC power connector to power the replica from a 6V wall wart power supply.
• Optional USB interface for your PC or Mac with software drivers.
• Creates a virtual comm port on your PC or Mac.

This Apple Cart column by John J. Anderson originally appeared in the July 1983 issue of Creative Computing. Discovered in the Atarimagazines.com archive, it describes the introduction of the Apple IIe to user groups from the U.S. and Canada. It begins:
"I had the opportunity recently to attend the International Apple Core user's group conference in Santa Clara, CA. Apple footed the bill for attendance by representatives of over 90 user's groups in the U.S. and Canada. The IAC has a membership of over 80,000, all tole, in some 4000 independent groups. I met representatives from as far away as West Germany and Australia. IIe or not IIe."

Mac TV: 12 Years Before the iMac G5 with Front Row
July 12, 2006
Another great article by Tom Hormby at Low End Mac. It begins:
"With the release of the iMac G5 with Front Row, many analysts have hailed Apple's entry into the living room. Apple actually released its first Mac with a remote control in 1993, the Macintosh TV.
The machine was an oddity, ostensibly designed for the cramped quarters of an American dorm room. The computer was totally black, save for the platinum CD-ROM caddy."
