What? You are misinformed. Apple II was introduced in 1977 and Apple III was introduced in 1980, way before C64. It's precursor Vic-20 was introduced in 1980.

Apple definitely was one of the companies inventing personal computers.



The Commodore Pet was introduced in '77. Both were preceded by any number of personal computers of varying capabilities (depending on how you want to define "personal computer" that includes Commodore / MOS Technologies "KIM-1").

Apple invented some aspects, like lots of others.


You are seriously defending the claim that Apple invented personal computers? Do not defend that, it is not true.


The Heathkit H8 hit in 1977 (some say 78, but I remember it under the tree in 77). Of course it was a kit.
