It almost feels like this is not an actual company or product, but a convincing retro design created by a designer today. I know Apricot was real, but something about it feels like it’s winking ironically, in a “what if this had taken off” kind of way.

(Steve Jobs never went back to Apple and instead Apricot teamed up with ARM and Psion to create the Jesus Phone, turning Britain into the new Silicon Valley…)

Could have up to 16 terminals hanging off the back when using Xenix.* Although the network and classes were at the local college as some kind of crossover access, I recall another of the classes involved their lab of Apple IIe that had this weird gated access to the internet for email.
