Happy 25 Mac

Macintosh - Insanely Great

It all started January 24, 1984. Not long thereafter a PC pundit would insist every year that Apple would go out of business. 25 years later Apple is still around.

Enjoy the 1984 Macintosh launch presentation. That’s when Steve Jobs “reality distortion field” was a mere toddler (the term was coined in 1981 by Bud Tribble). Also noteworthy is Steve Jobs didn’t wear his trademark St. Croix mock turtleneck, Levi’s 501 blue jeans, or New Balance 991 sneakers. I don’t see bottled water either ;-) .

Mac Sales Up 33%

Apple Third Quarter Results:

Now who is saying the Mac is dead ;-) ?
