“You know your company has been around a long time and that you’ve released a lot of products when a museum exhibit pops up, purely to showcase your impact on the world,” Jon Martindale reports for Digital Trends.
“That’s exactly what Apple now has in Prague,” Martindale reports, “where a museum offers what it boasts is the largest private collection of historic Apple hardware in the world.”
“The exhibit purportedly goes all the way back to 1976, involving Steve Jobs and Apple memorabilia that would draw nods of appreciation from even the most savvy fan of the fruity firm,” Martindale reports. “The official website for the museum [AppleMuseum.com] claims that this is the ‘first city where you can see this unique exhibition,’ which suggests perhaps that it will be shared around among museums to maximize its exposure. Currently it’s housed in a set of historic buildings on Prague’s Husova and Karlova streets, managed by the Central Bohemian Region.”

Well done.
They even have a Black Apple.
racist.
Really. Stupid, stupid, stupid. It was known as the Black Apple and sold to schools by Bell & Howell.
It was tough competition as B&H already had and in to schools with slide projectors and all the other products they had.
Get a life.
it was a joke, you vapid pontificating PC pariah.
You forgot the /s. 🙁
I had not seen the black Apple ][ before.
But, there were many things that brought back memories (and come and gone from my inventory over the years), some good and some bad.
The Apple ///, the imagewriters, the MacTV (also black), the TAM, the Quicktake Camera, the Apple 2400 baud modem, the Powerbook 180c (only a little bit of it shown), the Cube, the iSight camera, and on and on and on.
Yeah, the infamous Black Apple sold by Bell & Howell to schools. I had them to compete against while I was doing education sales from 81 to 85.
Yep! Had an Apple IIc my self. First sorta laptop.
pretty neat, kinda fun to peruse the photos of the products to see how many of them one has purchased through the years.
An audio cassette player/recorder hooked to an Apple I board. Good gawd it’s great to live in the future! 😉
I used a cassette to play Sargon on Apple ][…back in the day.
Reading those quotes following his death made me tear up all over again.
