Cult of Mac Contest: Name Mystery Apple Object, Win T-shirt
4:37 am, November 9th, 2009, Nicole Martinelli
This is your last chance to correctly name a mystery Apple item to win a T-shirt.
Not just any T-shirt: choose from the Apple-inspired designs at might tees, which include the I Love Lisa we wrote about, a retro-style logo and Steve Jobs in typeface.
The tees are made with water-based eco inks screen printed on high quality tri-blend shirts (part organic cotton, part recycled rayon and polyester) and a $28-$36 value.
We’ll chose a winner at random from correct answers — leave them in the comments but specify object and model, e.g. “Macintosh Quadra 700.”
Contest ends midnight, November 10.

I think it’s an Apple II c…the small white one with the disc door on the side and the small monitor that sits on top.

Its an Apple IIc.
The keyboard should be just below and the vents just above. The power indicator to the right of the disk light and the reset button to the left of the text video mode switch. – I’m such a geek.
Susheel Varma, on November 9th, 2009 at 7:11 am
IIc not a plus as the plus did not have the 40/80 column switch. Memories.
the icons and color do indicate a later model though.

Nice an apple //c ! We had one of these at primary school, I still think it’s one of the best designed apple computers from the earlier days. Great example of frog design’s snow white design language. and so compact!!

Looks like an Apple llc. Although the one I had seen had the word keyboard next to the second switch instead of what appears to be a picture of one in this picture.
Jason, on November 9th, 2009 at 9:40 am
Looks like I’ve been beat to the answer. But this looks like the old //c models my dad worked on back in the day. Good times!
Sarah Jay, on November 9th, 2009 at 10:12 am
It’s the Apple //c!
Jason, on November 9th, 2009 at 10:27 am
Apple //c! Had one for a long time,, loved it!
Tim P, on November 9th, 2009 at 10:39 am
Apple IIc. It was my first mac. It had a green screen and I spent countless hours trying to program a pinball game on it and playing lemonade stand. Oh yeah and I did a few school reports on it too. We were so surprised when my Dad brought it home because it was a huge expense at the time. I think he paid close to $2,000 with the monitor and accessories. I have been a apple man ever since.

Bought one in the US and took it home to the UK in carry-on baggage (with a 128Kb Mac in the other carry-on bag!)
StuartAB, on November 9th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
It’s a mac IIc. Still have my receipt… $2900 for the IIci with a Maxtor 210 MB Hard Drive and 4MB of RAM ! Still have the invoice.

Andrew Sullivan, on November 9th, 2009 at 1:01 pm
As has already been amply described, it’s a //c. It was my first Apple, after a string of Commodores. It went away when I got my first Mac, a 512E. Sigh…

Just like the one in the box beside my desk!!! Must get it out and set it up properly one of these days.
Jongleur, on November 9th, 2009 at 4:42 pm
Late to the party, but it’s definitely an Apple IIC, right above zee keyboard.

Marky Mark, on November 9th, 2009 at 6:29 pm
It’s an apple IIc, the first Apple I ever owned. The 40/80 switch told the monitor how many characters to display across the screen. And the little bar next to the (5 1/4″ !) floppy icon showed disc activity. Ahhh, memories…

There’s no such thing.
Thomas Jestus erroneously said:
>Apple IIc. It was my first mac.
No, that has NOTHING to do with Macintoshes.

Yep looks like an Apple IIc to me, used to practice on these engineering beauties when I was a young man (long time ago !!).

Nick, on November 10th, 2009 at 8:41 am
My first computer, too. It’s the Apple llc, which I bought in 1985. How far we’ve come!

Apple llc.
Dan Williams, on November 10th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
It’s a later model Apple IIc, as indicated by the presence of disc and keyboard icons instead of text.
Dale Cawthon, on November 10th, 2009 at 10:46 pm
Apple IIc. or //c, if you’re being specific.
Scott, on November 10th, 2009 at 10:51 pm
Apple IIc. My first Apple Computer, ah memories…
Tom Horton, on November 10th, 2009 at 11:50 pm
Apple IIc. Jeez, using the comments area for submissions isn’t very fair, you can tell who’s right based on the most popular submission. That said, I already knew what it was before I scrolled down
Chris Tipton-King, on November 11th, 2009 at 1:24 am
Iphone of the 1980s
