Title: Two Decades of Mac......
Post by: Bags on January 23, 2004, 06:42:00 pm

Happy Birthday, Mac! (http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/ptech/01/23/mac.birthday/index.html) And no, I'm not talking about the cosmetic line.
 
 If nothing else, you have to admit that Mac revolutionized the home computer.  Then Microsoft did it bigger (and cheaper, except for what they could bundle with the computers -- that stayed expensive).
 
 "Twenty years ago, on January 24, 1984, Apple Computer launched the Macintosh. It contained virtually unknown features, including simple icons, and an odd little attachment called a mouse.
 
 Many newspaper stories at the time had to include a definition. Silicon Valley's newspaper The San Jose (California) Mercury News, for example, described the mouse as "a handheld device that, when slid across a table top, moves the cursor on the Mac's screen.""
