Macintosh's 1984 Debut

Stephen E. Jobs writes "SiliconValley.com is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Mac by republishing some of its coverage of the machine's 1984 launch. 'After two years of secrecy, brainstorming and sometimes zany company maneuvering, Apple Computer Inc. will unveil a new personal computer Jan. 24 that is the size of a stack of paper and, for about the same price, contains more power than the basic IBM PC.' That's how one writer described the Apple Macintosh in 1984. There's more at SiliconValley.com."

    I think the "I'm not trolling" trolls are the best kind of troll. Some of them really don't believe they're trolling. No, I'm not trolling about you not thinking you're trolling.

    No, you can buy the fastest personal computer in the world for $2499. Or you can pay $2999 for a dual G5 PowerMac if you're really allergic to Athlon 64s. :p

    It's also amazing how the fanatical Apple zealots have not changed, as exhibited by their failure to see the humor in my parent post.

    Their cult-like behaviour and refusal to acknowledge Apple's faults or even to laugh at them precludes me from ever buying any Apple products.
