After failing an audition with The Beatles ' Apple Records, they were signed to Atlantic Records by Ahmet Ertegün, who had been a fan of Buffalo Springfield and was disappointed by that band's demise.

The Moodies were also among the pioneers of the idea that a successful rock band could promote itself through their own label, following the Beatles ' creation of Apple Records.

In a show of friendship, Lennon accompanied Nilsson to negotiations, and both intimated to RCA that Lennon and Starr might want to sign with them, once their Apple Records contracts with EMI expired in 1975, but would not be interested if Nilsson were no longer with the label.

Nilsson cumulatively spent several years at the flat, which was located near Apple Records, the Playboy Club, Tramps disco and the homes of friends and business associates.

" Hey Jude " was released in August 1968 as the first single from The Beatles ' record label Apple Records.

Ron Griffith of Badfinger ( known at this time as The Iveys, and the first band to join The Beatles-owned record label Apple Records ), recalled that on their first day in the studio, " Paul walked over to the grand piano and said, ' Hey lads, have a listen ', and he sat down and gave us a full concert rendition of ' Hey Jude '.

The single was the debut release of The Beatles ' record label Apple Records ; in the US, it was also the first Beatles ' single to be issued in a company sleeve rather than a picture sleeve.

The Apple I was Apple's first product, and to finance its creation, Jobs sold his only means of transportation, a VW van and Wozniak sold his HP-65 calculator for $ 500.

Unlike other hobbyist computers of its day, which were sold as kits, the Apple I was a fully assembled circuit board containing about 60 + chips.

The Apple I's built-in computer terminal circuitry was distinctive.

As Wozniak was the only person who could answer most customer support questions about the computer, the company offered Apple I owners discounts and trade-ins for Apple IIs to persuade them to return their computers, contributing to their scarcity.

The high price was likely due to the rare documents and packaging offered in the sale in addition to the computer, including the original packaging ( with the return label showing Steve Jobs ' parents ' address, the original Apple Computer Inc ' headquarters ' being their garage ), a personally typed and signed letter from Jobs ( answering technical questions about the computer ), and the original invoice showing ' Steven ' as the salesman.

< li > On June 15, 2012, a working Apple I was sold at auction by Sotheby's for a record $ 374, 500, more than double the expected price .</ li >

A software-compatible clone of the Apple I ( Replica 1 ), produced using modern components, was released in 2003 at a price of around $ 200.

It was also a less expensive alternative to the Apple Macintosh and IBM PC as a general-purpose business or home computer.

Applesoft BASIC was a dialect of Microsoft BASIC supplied with the Apple II series of computers.

It superseded Integer BASIC and was the BASIC in ROM in all Apple II series computers after the original Apple II model.

Applesoft BASIC was supplied by Microsoft and its name is derived from the names of both Apple and Microsoft.

Applesoft II, which was made available on cassette and disk and in the ROM of the Apple II Plus and subsequent models, was released in 1978.

As Steve Wozniak, the creator of Integer BASIC and the only person who understood it well enough to add floating point features, was busy with the Disk II drive and controller and with Apple DOS, Apple turned to Microsoft, who was the BASIC vendor of choice after their success with Altair BASIC, and licensed a 10 KB assembly language version of BASIC dubbed " Applesoft.

No provision was added in the 128 kB Apple IIe and Apple IIc models ' BASIC interpreters for the new machines ' extra memory and double-resolution graphics, or for the Apple II's 16-color mode.

It seems likely that memory constraints were at the root of these differences, as the Apple II ROM had only 10 kilobytes available for the interpreter, and the improved hi-res graphics support was clearly a higher priority.

The Apple II disk operating system, known simply as DOS, thus intercepted all input typed at the BASIC command prompt to determine whether it was a DOS command.

Version 4. 1, in a slightly modified form, was also the standard operating system for the Apple Network Server systems sold by Apple Computer to complement the Macintosh line.
