Apples were among the first microcomputers. They originally
used the
6502 processor and are still being made (August
1994), now using the

Apple II line, which
includes the Apple I, is the longest existing line of
microcomputers.
Steve Jobs left Apple (involuntarily) and started
NeXT and
later returned when Apple bought NeXT in late 1997(?).
