Step back into the golden era of 1980s personal computing with this complete, boxed copy of The Newsroom by Springboard Software for the Apple II series (Apple II+, IIe, IIc, IIgs)!
Originally released in 1987, The Newsroom was a pioneering desktop publishing program that allowed school journalists, small businesses, and hobbyists to design, write, and print their own custom newspapers and newsletters.
This original box set includes:
- Original Springboard textured plastic clamshell presentation case with intact spine label.
- Disk 1: Master Program 5.25" Floppy Disk (with original paper sleeve).
- Disk 2: Clip Art A / Clip Art B 5.25" Floppy Disk (with original paper sleeve).

Condition Notes:
Great Vintage Condition! The original white plastic clamshell case is clean and structurally solid with working plastic latches. The spine label is crisp and fully readable with minor edge wear. Both 5.25" floppy disk labels are clean, unfaded, and well-preserved. The instruction manual is complete with clean pages and no heavy creases or ink writing.
Note: Disks are visually inspected and preserved; media is sold as-is due to the vintage nature of magnetic floppy disks.
