Happy Birthday to Apple and the Mac
On January 24th, Apple Computer introduced the Macintosh. And you saw why 1984 wasn't like "1984."
Today is the 20th anniversary of the Mac. With it's introduction to America via a Super Bowl ad, millions of fans were born. I haven't been using an Apple for all that long really. I've only used them since 1996 when I was at U of M. Since then though, I have been quite an Apple devotee. I'm on my third Mac now (I wish I could have afforded more) and own an iPod as well. Sure, there are many things wrong with Macs, like their cost, but would I rather support Microsoft? I think not.
So happy birthday to the Apple and the Mac.
