Day 473, An apple a day keeps the mono away

As food supplements go these take some swallowing.

Although with only four days supply it shouldn't be that bad should it?

Ah, they have an adhesive rear side, maybe they aren't vitamin food substitutes. 

The classic Apple logo, first seen by me on the single Apple ][ adrift in a sea of Commodore PETs.

All nicked by some scallies from Cheetham Hill who broke into the school/college.*

To defeat the locked door on the computer suite they entered via the ceiling tiles from the next room.

Why wasn't there an alarm.

Perhaps there was?

Why did nobody notice?

Seems incredible that they could have away with the Apple ][ and the 30 odd PETs.

Each PET was a great lump of metal and would have taken some shifting.

Shaped like a vision of some science fiction big brother monolith, the sharp edges could probably slice a finger off.  

Apple ][, made of plastic and with a styling which remained popular during the computer boom for some time after.

The PET just wasn't quite as appealing as the Apple - although the burglers thought it worthwhile.  

A big milky metal box with a mono screen.

Whereas it wasn't just the Apple logo that had colour, it had the display too.

So everything else was black and white.

* The school and college were all part of one gigantic building which included the public library, leisure centre and baths.
