This article has been edited extensively since its second FAC failed (First FAC nomination and Second FAC nomination). It was rated a 'good article' by its Peer review (Peer review ). There are new sections, the citations have all been fixed and the text has been edited for readability. This is a self nomination, I was also involved in the other two FACs as well.Tomhormby 20:20, 5 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Support - Extremely well written, fully referenced - certainly meets the criteria. A serious amount of work has gone into this article. Well done! — Wackymacs 20:23, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Support - Wow, this article has come a long way since I last looked at it a few months ago. This has gone from being merely decent, into being a definitive computing history article, well worthy of FA status.  -/- Warren 09:40, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Oppose for the time being. Looking at the article history since the last nomination, the article is yet to pass the necessary overhaul in order to meet criteria 1a of WP:WIAFA. I strongly advice requesting someone with strategic distance to give it some copyediting.  Michaelas10   (Talk)   16:04, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The lead is inadequate (refer to WP:LEAD); Further reading contains sources that are used as references (please refer to WP:LAYOUT); and references are not completely or correctly formatted (last access dates are missing on several, dates aren't correctly formatted, authors and dates are missing, etc.)  Quotes should not be italicized.  Prose and copyedit needs, mostly for flow:  a most strange introductory sentence ("After a successful 1984, Apple Computer struggled in 1985. ") Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 22:25, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
