Tomas Chlebek Iphephandaba laseSan Francisco Chronicle kuwebhusayithi yakho ishicilele izithombe eziyingqayizivele kusukela ekusungulweni kwekhompyutha ye-Apple IIc kusukela ngo-1984. Kwakuyizinyanga ezimbalwa kuphela ngemva kokwethulwa kwe-Macintosh, futhi i-Apple yethula enye ikhompuyutha enemingcele efana kakhulu, kodwa indlela ehlukile kulwazi lomsebenzisi.
