Just over 30 years ago, on the 22nd January 1984, Apple introduced the Mackintosh. It featured a 9 inch screen, a 3.5” Floppy Disk Drive and 128kb RAM!
The Mackintosh was launched at a time when IBM ruled the world of computing. To put it into context the new iMac has a 1TB Hard Drive , the latest iPad Air has a 9.7” retina display and the new Mac Pro comes with 12GB RAM, that’s over 90,000 times as much memory as the first Mackintosh!
The greatest achievement of the Mackintosh was that it replaced the need to type in commands with point-and-click menus, introduced drag and drop, and launched the type of graphical user interface seen across PCs, phones, and tablets around the world today.
