Apple, originally known as Apple Computer, is an electronics, software, and computer company headquartered in Cupertino, California responsible for the Apple II series of home computers for which the original Eamon was designed. Founded 1 April 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne, the company sold its first Apple II in June 1977 and debuted its improved Apple II Plus in June 1979. This was followed by the IIe (1983), IIc (1984), IIGS (1986), and many other subsequent models of personal computers and electronic devices.

Apple is the world's largest publicly traded corporation.

In adventures

Apple features in The Caverns of Doom by Matthew Mullin, in desperate need of computer components to create their new Apple IIe. Apple II computers feature in various adventures.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs is included in Journey Across the Muerte Sea: "You see the CEO of a company from a faraway planet called Earth. His company is called Apple Computers, Inc. He says that Bill Gates kidnapped him after his Mac OS 10.3 sold its millionth copy."

The island in The Lost Island of Apple is shaped like the company logo.

In the Super Eamon Main Hall, the Burly Irishman sometimes grumbles that "if he'd bought Apple at 25 he'd be free by now."
