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 (http://www.apple.com/hardware/ads/1984/)!
While you're at it, check out what you could get for $2500 back in 1984: 128k Mac specs! (http://www.lowendmac.com/compact/128k.shtml) Whoo hoo! ^^;
And last but not least, check out the world's third largest supercomputer (http://eshop.macsales.com/Macworld/onthefloor/index.cfm?page=cluster.html), a cluster of G5 Powermacs!

And this one, a 6100-based Powermac inside an electric dynamometer.. er.. Just look ::) (http://www.applefritter.com/?q=node/view/434)

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.

Yes, he is. Hail Satan!!! ;D

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