A couple minor nitpicks from my own perspective.

The Apple II line is made up of both 8 and 16 bit systems.  However, it
is mostly 8 bit systems (six main 8 bit systems with multiple revisions
of each versus one 16 bit system with two revisions).

The income Apple received from Apple II sales fueled the development of
the the early Macs for several years which covers a lot more than just
the first Mac.  Macs didn't start paying for themselves until 1987 or
so.
