 Apple Pippin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Apple Pippin was a technology for a multimedia title player (sometimes mistakenly referred to as a games console) designed by Apple Computer in the mid-1990s.
By the time the Bandai Pippin was released, (1995 for Japan, 1996 for the United States) the market was already dominated by the Nintendo 64, Sony PlayStation, and Sega Saturn, machines which were much more powerful as game machines than the more general purpose Pippin.
Ultimately, Pippin as a technology suffered because it was a late starter in the 3D generation of consoles, and was under-powered as a gaming machine and personal computer.

 Horace Pippin - AMAM
Throughout Pippin's images of the everyday activities and concerns of African-American residents, there is a strong undercurrent expressing a personal desire for an environment both racially integrated and free of racial tension; After Supper: West Chester (1936; collection Leon Hecht and Robert Pincus-Witten), for example, depicts fls and whites companionably sharing an evening outdoors.
Many of Pippin's genre scenes are based on recollections of his childhood during the 1890s, offering "rare glimpses of a little-known group, African-American residents of small northeastern cities prior to the great migrations of the early twentieth century."5 The subject of Harmonizing, on the other hand, is distinctly contemporary.
