-Lorem Ipsum+The **Apple II** was a 6502 based microcomputer first released in 1977 by Apple Computer, now know as just Apple. Various models were released over the life of the line which spanned over 16 years, ending when the IIe card for the Macintosh was discontinued in late 1993. The line was able to successfully make the transition from the 8-bit world to the 16-bit with the release of the **Apple IIgs** in 1986. 
 + 
 +The **Apple III**, also based on the 6502, was a microcomputer aimed at the business market released by Apple Computer in 1980. The **Apple III** never recovered from the bad reputation it developed due to some serious issues in the beginning. Most were resolved over time but by then it was too late and the system, in both the original model and the later **Apple III+** were discontinued by 1985.
