The Apple III was created in reponse to Steve Job's wanting to move ahead with new innovations. He wanted to innovate, and as such, provided some questionable designs to the employees, such as it being shipped without a cooling fan. This particular defect caused the computer to break down, usually before it had reached it's destination. Thousands were recalled, and the press had a "field day" with it. The Apple III most definitely hurt Apple Computer's reputation, as it was a complete failure.

== The [[Macintosh]] ==
In 1984, the next huge Apple computer was released. It was called the Macintosh, which is also a kind of [[Apple (fruit)|apple]]. Apple paired with Adobe to create Adobe PageMaker, the first [[Desktop Publisher]] ever created. Using it, small companies could make official-looking documents, a milestone in technology history. The application ran exclusively on the Macintosh. Unfortunetly, the Macintosh and the Apple II were incompatible, one being for the professional level and one being for the consumer level. Apple started marketing the Macintosh to college students and home uers, while the Apple II was being marketed to schools and home users.
== The [[Apple IIg]] ==
The Apple IIg was a mix between the two, but it's main feature was that it was mouse driven.
