ReactiveMicro.com

ReactiveMicro.com is mainly a legacy Apple II hardware developer and manufacturer. The only such company left that reproduces Apple II related hardware and one of only a few that strives to create new items for the hobbyist market. They also offer products for a broad range of legacy platforms such as arcade, pinball and Altair just to name a few.
ReactiveMicro.com is Henry S. Courbis's division of Reactive Computers. Mr. Courbis's current project at Reactive Computers is related to the Apple II and to provide new solutions for the Apple II community.
In October 2007 ReactiveMicro.com has changed its name from GSE-Reactive.com.
On February 17th 2008 ReactiveMicro.com took down its old Site and now has it forwarding to their main Site.
On September 29th 2009 the operation of the parent company Reactive Computers was suspended indefinitely after 18 years under Mr. Courbis's direction.
On May 15th the offices of ReactiveMicro.com moved from Cherry Hill, NJ to King of Prussia, PA. Operations had been suspended a few weeks before and after the move which caused a major backlog in processing and shipping orders.
