Apple Computer Hoodies
Description: About forty years ago, Apple sponsored a Porsche race car. It didn’t stick around long but was a neat moment in the company’s history and was a smart business move to associate with the luxury German automaker. Now a replica of the Apple-sponsored 1979 Porsche 935 K3 Turbo is up for grabs at a cool half-million-dollar asking price.
Description: Apple II was released in 1977, and it ran at 1 MHz and an 8-bit bus using an 8-bit microprocessor. It came with 4KB of RAM and could be hooked to a cassette tape recorder and a TV. It had numerous upgrades from the previous model, including a case, an integrated keyboard, and expansion slots for floppy disks, among other components. Apple II became the first personal computer targeting the consumer market as opposed to business or computer hobbyists. When it was released in 1977, Apple II was retailing at $1,298. It eventually became the first successful mass-produced microcomputer.

Description: NeXT (later NeXT Computer and NeXT Software) was an American computer and software company founded in 1985 by Apple Computer co-founder Steve Jobs. Its name was usually pronounced as "Next". Based in Redwood City, California, the company developed and manufactured a series of computer workstations intended for the higher education and business markets. NeXT was founded by Jobs after he was fired from Apple, along with several co-workers. NeXT introduced the first NeXT Computer in 1988, and the smaller NeXTstation in 1990. The NeXT computers experienced relatively limited sales, with estimates of about 50,000 units shipped in total.
