apple iie

Even back in 1983, Apple was on top of their game.

The Apple IIe was the third model from Apple's personal computers. The "e" signified the enhanced version of the second model very much how the iPhone's "s" acts as a similar marker.

Discontinued in 1993, the IIe was the last of the line to be produced by Apple and has the distinction for being the longest-lived model in the history of the company.

No more was this evident than when a professor discovered his abandoned IIe up in his parents' attic. Over thirty years later, he was pleased to find it was still in excellent condition, and the bonus takeaway was an unexpected moment to connect with his father who passed away a year ago.
