Check out this trailer from the upcoming documentary “Welcome to Macintosh” which chronicles the history and devoted following of Apple.

25. November 2008
Check out this comic, which should be a fun blast from the past for anyone who remembers using Mac OS System 6. Poor granny, she doesn’t even get to play solitaire (or Mahjong). That must be why people flocked to Windows during the late 80’s and early 90’s. Now that I think about it, OS […]

Given the recent litigation involving I.B.M. and new Apple-hire Mark Papermaster, I wouldn’t be surprised if Jobs still feels the same way about Big Blue. This photo was taken in mid-Manhattan sometime in the early 80’s. And check it out, no black turtleneck!

27. October 2008
Below is an old advertisement for the Newton Messagepad 2000. The device debuted in 1997 and was around for less than a year before Steve Jobs decided to axe it. Some of the features advertised include: a 16-level high-resolution grayscale screen a screaming 160 MHz processor! A built-in microphone and speaker for voice dictation! Battery […]

17. October 2008
As everyone continues to talk about how sleek and polished the new MacBook and MacBook Pro’s are, it might be easy to forget that not every Apple product is a aesthetic grand slam. Case in point, the two iMacs pictured below. Say hello (or goodbye) to the original ‘Flower Power’ iMac and the ‘Blue Dalmation’ […]
