Two models of the Apple 2 series. Apple ][ (read Apple 2) was the first, followed by ][+ then //e (read 2e).
Apple was the first computer of Steve Jobs (you know, the guy who made the iPhone, the eBook, etc.). Note that Steve Jobs was a kind of visionary but the guy who actually built the Apple was Steve Wozniak.
The Apple was popular because it was affordable and, for its time rather powerful. That was possible because Steve Wozniak (and others) figured out how to build a computer in the cheapest (and most clever way).
As many HN readers, I learned programming when I was very young, on an Apple 2.
