Apple fanboys everywhere are celebrating today. Twenty five years ago today, Steve Jobs first introduced the Apple Macintosh (128k). It contained a Motorola 68000 processor running at 8 MHz, with 128k of RAM, a 400k 3.5" floppy drive (no hard drive - the system and programs had to be loaded from floppy), a single button mouse, keyboard, and a 9" monochrome screen. It sold for $2500 originally.
