Description

"Apple's 1 Millionth Macintosh Computer"—presented to Apple COO Del Yocam

Historic original Apple Macintosh Plus computer, Model No. M0001A, Serial No. F6051HDM0001A, with a special engraved plaque on the back: "Del Yocam, Apple's 1 Millionth Macintosh Computer, Manufactured in Fremont, February 9, 1987, Domestic Operations." The serial number label is affixed on the bottom panel. Introduced in January 1986, the Macintosh Plus was the third computer in the important Macintosh series, which had debuted with much fanfare in 1984. After selling 72,000 Macintosh units in the first hundred days, Apple ramped up manufacturing capacity; however, early adopter sales did not accurately reflect mainstream public demand for the new computer, and it was not until March 1987 that the Macintosh line reached one million sales. Includes its Macintosh Mouse (M0100) and Apple Keyboard (M0110A), as well as Macintosh Plus Owner's Guide. In fine cosmetic condition; the computer boots and appears to be fully functional, but needs a startup disk.

Del Yocam joined Apple Computer in 1979 as vice president of manufacturing and operations, overseeing the Apple II group. He became Apple's first chief operating officer (COO) in 1986, remaining in that position for three years before becoming president of Apple Pacific. He retired from Apple on his tenth anniversary in 1989.
