Press Release Body = 26th June 2006, Apple is an American computer technology
corporation develops, sells, and supports a series of personal computers, portable
media players,

computer software, and computer hardware accessories.

The company\'s most well-known products are the Apple Macintosh line of personal
computers, the iPod portable music player, and the iTunes media player.
Apple has been a major player in the evolution of personal computing since its
founding in 1976. The Apple II microcomputer, introduced in 1977, was a hit with

home users. In 1983, Apple introduced the Lisa, the first commercial personal
computer to employ a graphical user interface, which was influenced in part by the

Xerox Alto.

In 1984, the Macintosh (commonly called the \"Mac\") was introduced, furthering the
concepts of a user-friendly graphical user interface, and also introducing the

mouse for the first time in a personal computer. Apple\'s success with the Macintosh
became a major influence in the development of graphical interfaces
In 1991, Apple introduced the PowerBook line of portable computers, establishing the
modern ergonomic form and design that has since become ubiquitous in the

portable market.

The first Macs were powered by Motorola\'s 32-bit 680x0 families of CPUs. In 1994,
Apple introduced the PowerMacs, which used the higher-performance

PowerPC chip designed by Apple, Motorola and IBM. PowerMacs run native PowerPC
applications and emulate traditional Mac 680x0 applications. PowerPC

chips have enjoyed substantial increases in performance over the years.

In the 2000s, Apple expanded their focus on software to include professional and
prosumer video, music, and photo production solutions, with a view to promoting

their computers as a \"digital hub\". It also introduced iPod, a portable digital
music player which has become the most popular player on the market.

Mac OS, which stands for Macintosh Operating System, is a series of graphical user
interface-based operating systems developed by Apple Computer for their

Macintosh line of computer systems. The Mac OS is often credited with popularizing
the graphical user interface.

Another important thing invented by apple is Macintosh Clones, capable of running
Mac OS, notably Power Computing and Umax. These machines normally ran

various versions of classic Mac OS.

In 1988, Apple released its first UNIX based OS, named A/UX. This was an operating
system that seamlessly integrated the Mac OS look and feel with the power

and flexibility of UNIX.

The graphical user interface used by Macintosh personal computers, which is modeled
after an actual desktop and has little pictures (called icons) of file folders, a

trash can for deleting files, etc. Pull-down menus and dragging objects originated
with the Mac. For people who are not computer experts, the Macintosh user

interface makes everything much easier to learn. Parts of this interface were
developed by Xerox PARC, but never released.
