Happy 20th Birthday Macintosh!

[Saucer]

It was 20 years ago today that the Apple Macintosh computer was born! For a gas, check out Apple's unforgettable 1984 Macintosh Superbowl Commercial!

While you're at it, check out what you could get for $2500 back in 1984: 128k Mac specs! Whoo hoo!

And last but not least, check out the world's third largest supercomputer, a cluster of G5 Powermacs!

Steve Jobs is satan

Like this guy, who put a Powermac 6500 inside of a NeXT Cube (http://www.applefritter.com/?q=node/view/449)
And this one, a 6100-based Powermac inside an electric dynamometer.. er.. Just look   (http://www.applefritter.com/?q=node/view/434)


Anways as far as I'm concerned, Long live the PC!

LOL! It's true! fsck j00 Bill Gates!

I found this poll extremely amusing:
What anniversary did you celebrate?

*      20th anniversary of falling in love with a machine.
*      20 years of the cheapest R&D Microsoft could get.
*      20 long years of listening to Mac fanatics go on and on about how they love their machines.
*      20 even longer years of wondering why my Windows friends don't get a clue.
*      Almost 20 years of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Steve Jobs is satan    

Yes, he is. Hail Satan!!!

5\/\/337!! Someone should stuff the guts from a Lisa into a 50s TV case or something. That would be a fun, random project!
