TWO STEVES AND APPLETWO STEVES AND APPLE

What a wonderful cover page this book is. この段ボールのApple II Am I the only person who wants to get this cardboard Apple II? Valuable things are gathered as not only the cover page but also contents, such as Apple history, interview, hardware, software introduction, manual introduction, book introduction etc. as materials. 当時のApple II I always admire the enthusiasm of the editor who tried to compile the Apple II culture at the time. At the beginning of the release, I saw it at the Asahiya bookstore in Ginza, but I could not get it for a long time, I received it from Mr. Shinohara, a big senior in my company.

Apple IIThis book with peripheral usage and subtitles introduces a wide range of peripherals that can be connected to Apple II and how to enjoy it. DIALOGCompuserve Indeed, the connection with the US computer was connected to Maruzen (Japanese famous bookshop) by a telephone line, and the form of using DIALOG online connection service from Maruzen was introduced, but in my memory, Compuserve Services from around the following year 84 should be available. Daw Jones (I think that access to Daw Jones using acoustic couplers and international phones was being used.) In this way, it seems that the method of using personal computer was almost established at that time apart from the quality.
HDは6.38MBAt the end of the book, the peripheral equipment which was available at that time including the industrial use is covered, so it is a valuable book as data, but HD is 6.38MB at 320,000 yen, it is confirmed that it takes several years to penetrate home due to price restrictions.

Turning over the cover page, two pages spread advertisement of Macintosh by Apple Japan, which begins with “First in history, Apple let Personal Computer remember human habits" makes me feel generational change Apple II to Macintosh. 巻頭にはApple IIWIZARDRY、ULTIMAApple II The beginning of the book is introduced Apple II's charm and its history, introduction of games starts with WIZARDRY, ULTIMA, introduction of classic games and programmers, etc. Although it is relatively common composition, games are arranged in chronological order, this is a good book to understand the enjoyment of Apple II game. I am relieved so that I can read it in Japanese.

The first time Apple

1984年の春にはキャノン販売は総販売元としてマッキントシュの販売体制を整え、同時に、米国で４月に発売されたApple IIcの販売を開始した。In the spring of 1984 Canon sales set up a sales organization of Macintosh as a total selling agency and at the same time started selling Apple IIc released in April in the United States. この本は84年7月の発行なので、キャノン販売を通して日本で発売されたApple IIcのパッケージに同梱されていたもののようだ。 Since this book was issued in July 1984, it seems that it was included in the package of Apple IIc released in Japan through Canon sales. プロローグには「みんなのりんご」というDaniel Creedon氏の童話が絵本風に掲載され、コンピュータアレルギーの人にも気楽に読んでもらえるよう工夫されている。 In the prologue, Daniel Creedon’s fairy tale of "everyone’s apple" was posted in a picture book style, and devised to make it easier for computer allergists to read it. 読者を考え、従来のマニュアルに無いものを作るという意欲が強く感じられる編集がなされている。 Edited to strongly feel the motivation of thinking readers and making things that are not in conventional manuals. の発売からごくわずかの時間でこの本を仕上げるのには大変な労力が必要だったのではないだろうか。 I think it took a lot of effort to finish this book in a very short time from the launch of Apple IIc. のちに書籍としても販売された。 It was later sold as an independent book. キャノン販売発行のこの本も、『Apple 110番』もスコップさんから頂戴したものである。 This book, published by Canon sales, and "Apple 110" was received from Mr.Skcop.

“My Apple Notes” category in my homepage was inspired to start writing by the third chapter "Let's make my own Apple notes first" of this Book.(My Apple II Notes-1参照）『Macintosh Museum』という1991年12 (Refer to My Apple II Notes - 1) I was looking at the booklet issued in December 1991 called "Macintosh Museum", I found an article titled "Around the First Apple" by Aizu Izumi. 42日で仕上げたとある。 Mr. Aizu was in charge of the whole direction and half of the manuscript, and it was finished in only 42 days from planning to manuscript writing, illustration, design, layout, edition, printing, binding and delivery. I guess you were busy. IIC( I also found that the cover page was different between what was bundled with Apple IIC (upper) and what was later released from Shogakukan (bottom).

APPLE 110

Hi-Techs showroom located in Kodenmacho Nihonnbashi Tokyo, at that time Apple Computer related information in Japan was poor, I was a lot of take care of there to make up few apple products and software information. Q&A集の第6刊として1985年に発行されたもの。This book was published in 1985 as a 6th issue of practical PC Q & A collection by Hi-Techs editorial. カテゴリー別にQ&A方式でApple II The layout that answers the question of Apple II by the Q & A method by category seems to be combined with other books of this series.
この本が出版された1985Macintoshに重心がおかれ、Apple II3月にApple IIeがcpuをApple IIcと同じ65C02チップに変更されennhanced4月にはApple IIcが販売１年で40 In 1985 when this book was published, the Apple product in Japan was centered on the Macintosh and Apple II sales were minor, but in the US Apple IIe had the same cpu as Apple IIc in March. It was changed to 65C02 chip and changed to minor in enhanced model, and in April Apple IIc was still alive with recording shipment of 400,000 units in 1 year.
Apple IIc Although there are parts where relatively simple contents are described, there is also much valuable information such as the way of driving the battery by Apple IIc, and it is very much appreciated to be able to read this information in Japanese all together.
