	Apple II History Chap 7
		Apple executives also decided that with the introduction of the Apple III they wanted a clear separation between it and the Apple II in regard to marketing.
		Apple's executives were confident that after the release of the Apple III, the Apple II would quickly lose its appeal.
		For a 1991 Apple II, it was limited in being unable to be accelerated beyond 2 MHz (a Zip Chip could run a standard IIe at 8 MHz), and the screen response seemed slow, since it was using a software-based Mac text display instead of the hardware-based Apple II character ROM.

		The Apple III was powered by a 2 MHz 6502B 8-bit CPU and, like some of the more advanced machines in the Apple II family, used bank switching techniques to address up to 256K of memory (512K with a third-party upgrade).
		The Apple III's software library was very limited, and whilst sold as an Apple II compatible, the emulation that made this possible was intentionally hobbled, thus it could not make use of the advanced III features (specifically 64K RAM or higher, required by a large number of Apple II software titles) which limited its usefulness.

		Apple helped start the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with its Apple II and shaped it in the 1980s and since with the Macintosh.
		The Apple III was also expensive, and, though the company introduced an updated version in 1983, largely a failure.
		Apple has been criticised for their vertically integrated business model, which runs against the grain of much of the 'received wisdom' of economists, particularly for the computer industry.

	Apple III (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Apple III, or Apple /// as it was sometimes styled, was the first completely newcomputer designed by Apple Computer, Inc. (the Apple II having been designed by Steve Wozniak priorto the company's incorporation in 1976).
		One of the mostimpressive technologies at this time was the fact that the Apple III did not include a fan.
		One popular anecdote about the Apple III isprobably better remembered than the machine itself: in a technical bulletin, customers were instructed to lift the machine threeinches and drop it – this was supposed to reseat internal DIP chips that had a tendency to come loose.

	VAW: The Ill-Fated Apple III
		As far as Apple was concerned, the Apple II would be relegated to the home and education markets, while the Apple III, building upon its compatibility with the Apple II, would become the company's business solution (Linzmayer, 15).
		Apple dropped the price of the Apple III to $4,190 and gave a $50 rebate to everyone who had purchased an Apple III up to that date (Linzmayer, 42).
		The main legacy of the Apple III was to dampen the sense of invincibility that had arisen at Apple in its early years (Levy, 124).

	History of computer design: Apple III
		This illustrates the then unique importance placed by Apple on the physical appearance of its machines; Apple valued case design enough to contradict the practice of the hobby market from which it had emerged by subordinating the elegance of electronics to that of its enclosure.
		Though the Apple III design was improved in 1981 and again in 1983, when it was renamed the Apple III+, it sold very poorly and was finally discontinued in 1985.
		The corners on both the computer and the keyboard share the 45-degree chamfers that Manock had used for the Apple II, and the same placement of the name badge and identical beige plastic help reinforce the impression that the Apple III is a less frivolous but close relative to its predecessor.

		Because the Apple III was intended to be a business machine and had to be able to access larger disk devices than were allowed for the Apple II, they also added the ability to create and use different levels of file directories.
		Apple, recognizing that the computers used in the real world would never be 100 percent Apple, made it possible to simplify transfer of data between different computers.
		Apple software engineers had always made it clear to programmers clamoring for additional FSTs that such changes were more than just dropping the new FST into the System/FST folder on a boot disk.

	Apple III Chaos: What Happened When Apple Tried to Enter the Business Market
		Apple was extremely proud of its new product, because it was their first business-orientated computer and also their first departure from the Apple II architecture.
		Apple's official suggestion to customers in response to this problem was to pickup the Apple III system and drop it onto a desk to reseat the chips temporarily.
		In February 1981, Apple announced that the Apple III would no longer include the built-in clock/calendar because National Semiconducter's clock chip didn't meet their specifications; however, nobody was willing to explain why it had been included in the shipping product in the first place.

	Apple III
		Unlike the Apple II or original IBM PC where you bought a computer and had to buy a floppy drive, disk controller card, 80 column card, serial card and parallel card to make it useful, the Apple III had all of the basic functionality built-in.
		The Apple III was essentially a system for the business user and Apple expected that users would invest in a Profile hard disk.
		The Apple II and III require adapter cards which are quite difficult to obtain; the Lisa has a built-in Profile interface and can access more than one Profile if it is fitted with the parallel expansion card.
