Editing Apple IIe (section)

===New case and keyboard===
In 1984, Apple revised the case and keyboard. The original IIe uses a case very similar to the Apple II Plus, painted and with [[Velcro]]-type clips to secure the lid with a strip of metal mesh along the edge to eliminate [[electromagnetic interference|radio frequency interference]]. The new case is made of dyed plastic mold in a slightly darker beige with a simplified snap-case lid. The other noticeable change is a new keyboard, with more-professional-looking print on darker keycaps (small black lettering, versus large white print). This was the first cosmetic change.
