Thirty years ago today, the Macintosh computer was introduced. I was fortunate enough at the time to be working in an office whose management was willing to explore new ideas and they willingly purchased a couple of the first Macs off the assembly line. From the first time I sat down in front of one, I was hooked. I’ll admit that compared to the other computers in our office, the thing was kind of weird looking, the screen was small and black and white. No hard disk drive. A funny looking thing called a “mouse.” It was kind of slow, but it worked just like I thought a computer should. It came close to speaking my language and didn’t demand that I learn its language.
So Apple fan or not, thirty years ago they set out to change the world and I’d say by the looks of things, they did. Happy Birthday, Mac!

Just think of how much one of those is worth today if you still had one and it was working
Actually I do have the first model duo (portable) and it works….
