== Purpose ==
 
A.P.P.L.E. is an all-volunteer [[Apple Computer|Apple]] / [[Apple Macintosh|Macintosh]] users group. None of the members of the board or of the staff are paid; they dedicate their time to this project for the love of the computer world.
 
While much of the current group is still based in the [[Seattle]] area, production is now handled in [[Japan]] and [[Canada]].
Line 19:
The purpose of the group is to provide information, software, hardware, documentation, and support to all levels of users regardless of the Apple computer that they are using.
 
The [[A.P.P.L.E.]] is one of the oldest official [[Apple Computer|Apple]] Users Groups in existence and specializes in providing users with usable freeware and shareware. They also publish their magazine, ''[[Call-A.P.P.L.E.]]'', on a monthly basis in addition to online libraries.

Other books included the "Call-A.P.P.L.E. In Depth" series and the "Call-A.P.P.L.E. Compendium" series which were primarily related to the source code listings from the magazines. Most of these books included floppies classified in the Anthology series. The Anthology disks were mostly Applesoft and Integer basic programs from the monthly issues of Call-A.P.P.L.E. magazine. The 1981 Pascal anthology was produced by current A.P.P.L.E. president [[William Martens|Bill Martens]]. Most of these books and software are still available today in CD or DVD format.
