Happy Birthday Macintosh - 01-24-2009, 11:13 AM

"Well, today is the day. Twenty-five years ago on this day, a much-younger Steve Jobs introduced the Macintosh to 3000 attendees at the Flint Center at De Anza College in Cupertino. It was the first commercially successful personal computer to feature a mouse and a graphical user interface rather than a command line interface"

Full story.

Their computers/OS are nowhere near taking over. But I see more iPods than any other brand of music player and I see more iPhones than any other brand of mobile phone. I'm a Mac user too.

It's a balance ... I want Apple to be as successful as it can be, but I don't really want everyone using them. They aren't for everybody anyhow!

When their OS becomes as successful as Windows, all the hackers will shift their virus and spyware production to Apple......Ben
