The Apple II Age Laine Nooney Now available, this 352-page history explores how the Apple II's software helped a machine transcend from hobbyist's plaything to essential home appliance.  Skip the iPhone, the iPod, and the Macintosh. If you want to understand how Apple Inc. became an industry behemoth, look no futher than the 1977 Apple II. Designed by the brilliant engineer Steve Wozniak and hustled into the marketplace by his Apple cofounder Steve Jobs, the Apple II became one of the most prominent personal computers of this dawning industry.  Get 40% off when you buy direct using the code NOONEY40 until 6/21/2023.  BUY NOW “The Apple II Age is a joy to read and an extraordinary achievement in computer history. A rigorous thinker and a bright and witty writer, Nooney offers a compelling account of the initial attempts to make computers inviting to the public. The Apple II Age, like the old microcomputer itself, is bound to intrigue both experts and newcomeres to the subject.” —Joanne McNeil, author of Lurking: How a Person Became a User
