Today we celebrate the 25th birthday of the Macintosh computer. :) Just think where the world would be, had the Macintosh never been invented.


Ironically, It's also my dad's birthday today.

Now, if I only could get over the sense of guilt for the price and finally go and buy the iPhone I've been longing for months I could also make Apple a litlle donation to show my aprreciation :wink:

My first laptop was a iBook G3 I got when I was 9! Since then I got my MacBook, my iPod touch, my iPhone 3G and I even persuaded my mum to get a iMac to replace her crappy old PC! :D

Apple is great! :)

Yep, she just took time getting used to OS X. The only problems we have with the computer are with Parallels which, ironically, is used to run Vista (for compatibility reasons).

Apple's powerPC was the first apple product that I ever used. Image Oh so many memories like shutting down my elementary school's old linux sever.

I've got a Power Macintosh very similar to those under my bed, I got it at a car boot sale for £3! :D
