My web site doesn’t draw the number of hits that many more popular sites do, but my site occasionally attracts some emails that turn into very interesting stories. The discovery of John Draper’s Apple II is one of them, and I need to put together a few more posts in order to describe his system and it’s history. However, right on the heels of the discovery of Draper’s Apple II, another very interesting system has just surfaced which is housed in this enclosure.

Apple Case

The story is that it was taken out of Steve Jobs office by Apple employee and manufacturing engineer, Don Hutmacher, after Steve was fired in the mid 80s. The story goes that Don was allowed by his boss to go into Steve Job’s office take anything that was left over. It had been picked clean by the time that he got there. He noticed this computer and a bag of Starbucks coffee, and that is how he ended up with it.

More to come…
