Hey, Mac: Happy Birthday

Posted by Adam Kuban, January 24, 2004 at 12:41 AM

Today is the Apple Macintosh's twentieth anniversary. Though we take some flak from our PC-using friends, we're all Apple diehards here at Slice. My first machine was an Apple IIC, followed years later by a Mac Performa 6220CD, then a second-generation iMac, a second-generation iBook, and finally the dandy little machine that helps us produce the bulk of Slice, the latest iBook model. E-Rock, coming from a newspaper background, has long used Macs, too. Ditto for Seltzerboy.

Slice would be nothing without these friendly, easy-to-use computers.

Check out this San Jose Mercury News story about the the first Macintosh.

Watch the famous "1984" Macintosh commercial directed by Ridley Scott.

Some of the highlights from our history of Apple/Mac use:
Lemonade Stand
Oregon Trail
The Bard's Tale
Public Enemy's Chuck D slaps the Mac(intosh)

Dude, Lemonade stand was the shee-it! I mean, I remember Oregon Trail, but I was too stupid at the time to play it effectively... but Lemonade Stand... uh-oh. Heat wave! It was my FIRST Apple II game... then there was Space Quarks.
