I recently found some Polaroid pics I took at my first Apple dealership in 1980. The one that interests me is the one that made my career: an Apple ][ with a 10Mb Corvus hard disk. That's it over on the left. Corvus made the first hard disks available for microcomputers, and the Apple version had Omninet, a network that ran on flat ribbon cables so multiple computers could share the hard drive. You can see the cable in the lower left corner of this pic. I remember selling multiuser database with DBMaster, businesses loved the Apple ][ for simple databases, it was the type of app that broke the Apple ][ out of the Visicalc model and into the networked world. Soon after this, I left retail and worked in software development.
