Happy Birthday - Retro 1984 Mac


It's been 30 years since the 1984 Superbowl - an Orwellian throw-back. I don't have a clue the two teams that played that year, but I do
remember the first Macintosh computer - a classic. Computers haven't been the same since. Dark Castle computer game - hours of play time late into the night, a slow Apple ImageWriter dot matrix printer, great design, and Jan figured out how to turn it on before I did. A tiny screen, but that didn't matter - a beautiful piece of design in beige that helped me do a lot of work that paid the bills using statistics, word processing, data plotting, and graphics packages. Lots of notables laud the Mac - lowly folks like me, too.
