Apple’s Annual
Report in 1984.
The cover is "1984" commercial "On January 24th, Apple Computer will
introduce Macintosh. And you'll why 1984 won" t be like 1984 ". The
monitor used in the silhouette is the Apple IIe color monitor. In this
year, a huge amount of advertisement expenditure was introduced. Macintosh
and Apple IIc were on sale, and when announcing IIc on 24th April invited
4 thousand people to the Moscone Center in San Francisco with a budget of
2.5 million dollars, a party entitled "Apple II Forever" opened.
This annual report is also very luxurious
under this trend.

been extremely sluggish since its launch, and it has become a controversy
from the immediate release and was controversial within the company
whether to change the original characteristic red packaging.
Del Yocam Also in
the poor sales, Del Yocam changed the organization of the Apple II team,
promoted Dabe Larson to the Apple II business manager, and Peter Quinn has
left his job afterwards.
