An Apple Computer, Inc. label affixed to the box reads: "Del Yocam, Executive Staff." Operational and in overall fine cosmetic condition.
The Macintosh 128K was the first in the line of Apple's Macintosh computers. It offered a radically new approach which featured a graphical user interface (GUI), built-in screen, and mouse-all of which revolutionized the user's experience, marking the transition from command-line computing to a point-and-click model. The Macintosh was famously announced in one of the most-viewed Super Bowl advertisements of all time, '1984.'
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.
