30 Years of Macintosh..!!

Apple launched the first Macintosh 30 years ago Today, and Cupertino is in party mode. Apple's website has been updated to point to a celebration of the original computer and it's descendants. the page is essentially a timeline that acts as a look at the various Mac models and also focuses on the "generation of innovators who continue to change the world" using their Macs with short stories about a number of creatives...

There's also "your first Mac" page, where where readers share the first mac they bought and explain what they used it for. They are then thanked for being a user for however many years it's been since their purchase. These shares from an impromptu survey of visitors.. and at the bottom of the "your first Mac" page there are pictures or you may say graphics showing the most popular Macs ./. and below that is a animations showing what people have used there Macs for over the years.... and i am not surprised most of the people use Macs for Internet and E-mail..

The Apple Macintosh, later referred to as the Macintosh 128K, was released on January 24th, 1984 for $2,495. the first Mac included a 9-inch 512x384 monochrome display, a Motorola 8000 processor alongside 128KB of memory, and a handle to make it easier to carry. It was also one of the earliest computers to adopt the 3.5-inch  floppy disk format... which came to dominate the removable storage media market by the end of the 80's. If you are like me then you would like to take a closer look at the hardware , iFixit has published a commemorative tear down of the Macintosh 128K.. i have the link to it down at the bottom..

The Macintosh is credited with popularizing graphical user interface, many elements of it's software remain commonplace today, like ubiquitous desktop metaphor and the Finder file manager still used in modern Macs that we use everyday. Apple introduced the Macintosh to the world with it's own legendary "1984 Super Bowl Commercial"..

We all love are Macs and Apple is according to some people is lacking in the Cell phone market but and i don't disagree with them but the Company has it's own ideas and we must not forget that next iPhone is on it's way .. and which will probably going top blow everyone's mind..
