The History of the Mac

Ernie the Attorney writes about a book that I now want to add to my wish list:

Insanely Great - I'm reading this Steven Levy book, which is the story of "the Life and Times of the Macintosh, The Computer That Changed Everything."  The Mac was introduced in 1984.  I was entering my third year of law school when I wandered into a computer store and saw the Mac.  I knew right then it was a revolutionary product, and I wanted one immediately.  I pooled all of my resources, and borrowed money from relatives, to buy one.  I still have that Mac in my garage, and I will keep that computer (which doesn't work anymore) until the day I die.  It was a sad day when I realized that I had to switch to the PC world (which is consistently behind the curve on things like Firewire, and Wi-Fi).  Steve Jobs was absolutely right when he said the Mac was "insanely great"    It truly did change computing, and open a special door to a world that we now all take for granted. [Ernie the Attorney]

Ernie, it is possible to switch back these days! (even if apple's commercials are silly)
