I found it quite funny, that even 25 years later, that little booklet that drops in the ad for the original Macintosh looks just like the booklet I got with my MacPro when I switched last year. I suppose it goes to show even with leaps and bounds in advances in technology on a computer that is astronomically more powerful than the original, Apple still strives to keep things simple across all of their products. Are they always successful? No, but that goal is obvious in their product philosophy even 25 years later. I would have to say my experience to date is filled with a lot fewer computer frustrations than before Feb 2008, and for that – I owe them thanks. So Happy Birthday.
Here is another video that aired during the 1984 SuperBowl;
Amazing how fast time flies. I was an early adopter of the Mac back in the day. I envied those i knew who had the Apple II and when I got a Mac Plus i was in heaven. I still have it in fact. I guess that makes me a bit of a nerd. So be it!
Can’t wait to get mine! I should order in about 3 weeks, just in time for my birthday! 🙂
Scary… I still remember using one of the very first Macs (and its “sister” Lisa). At the time I thought Paint was the coolest software I have ever used.
