Washington Apple Pi is the oldest continuously active personal computer group, formed in late 1977 and formally named in 1978. Originally set up to support users of the then-new Apple II, the group was composed of scientists and technical managers drawn from DC-area government agencies (NASA, NOAA, NIST, DOD, etc.) and technical enthusiasts. It expanded as personal computer use expanded, and as the Macintosh, Newton, iPod, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and other devices were added.
