Apple, Inc.

You know how kids are nowadays. They always want what's "new and cool", what's "hip and fresh", what's "sweet and ill." And those who don't have such things are often "mad tight, son." What are these things, you ask? Well, the latest high-tech technology on the market that tweens get their hands on nowadays. And no other company can make more of these things than the Apple Company! No, it is not a company that makes apples. It's the company known for such things as the Macintosh computers, the line of iPods, the iPhone, the recently released iPad, and the online store iTunes.
Prepare to read and actually be entertained (I know it may be hard to actually be entertained while doing research, but I do it quite well) and learn the history of Apple, Inc! ... Well, what are you waiting for? Go! ... I said go, boahy! ... That's it... *unsheathes machete* Yeah, that's right!... Go down... down... good reader...
==Mac Computers==
﻿The Apple company has been around since the late 1970s, and their first invention was the "Apple I." After that, they develop a full-out computer, called the Macintosh, if you will, in 1984. Yes, that is right, they had computers back in the '80s. It may seem impossible, yes, I know, but it is actually true. Just... just calm down. There's no need to be so hyper. C-calm down, reader! No! No... Aaaah!!!
Gasp, gasp... Okay... Whew. You went ballistic there. Alright, the point is that the Macintosh was launched in... that time period. You might notice something within the word. "MACintosh." And you might have seen some "Mac" computers in your day. So help, you guessed right! The word "Mac" is derived from the original "Macintosh" computer. Genius, ain't it? Why, yes. Yes it is.
There were numerous other computers after the Macintosh, such as Macintosh II, Macintosh SE, Machintosh IIx, Macintosh IIcx, Macintosh SE/30, Macintosh Portable, Macintosh IIfx, Macintosh IIci, Macintosh Classic, Macintosh LC, Macintosh IIci, Macintosh Classic II, Macintosh LC II. There was also a Power Macintosh line of computers, best known for their advanced "chips" and so forth. The Macintosh Portable line was eventually replaced by the Powerbook line, another group of laptop-like Apple creations. However, as the years went by, Apple's popularity decreased as newcomers Microsoft and Intel arrived on the scene, and there were also customers confused by the "Macintosh clones", which were the assortments of similar computers mentioned earlier in this paragraph. These quagmires hurt Apple financially.
However, in 1997. a genius named Steve Jobs, co-founder and chief executive officer of Apple, Inc. had returned to Apple after a long absence since being laid off in 1985, and a year later, the company produced a grand invention. What was this, you ask? It was... the iMac. O_O! Yes, this cool new computer boosted Apple's popularity and gained then some major business. This iMac evolved into the sleek white and thin computers since in that picture to the right that we know today. Why, eventually even Intel decided to create some processers for the Macs, due to their high popularity. In recent years, the Macs just keep selling more and more, with people who own iPods satisfied with its awesomeness, thus wanting more from this grand company.
Other versions of Mac computers are also sold, such as the Mac Mini, iMac, Mac Pro (desktop), MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro (portable), and Xserve (server).
