Surprisingly, couldn't find anything on Apple, though there is a link to a Jan 23rd Business Week story about Steve Jobs (subscribers only) that might address the anniversary.
My first was a 512, quickly graduated to a Plus with a whopping 20 meg external hard drive (sucker cost $800 more than the Plus). I thought the sweetest was the Se-30, fast all all git out.
Use PCs for work now but still get to play with some of the old boxes when I do geek work for a trade show registration company (need an old-timer to baby them through). For one show next week we'll have about 100 SEs, SE-30s, Classics and Classic IIs spread over four or five locations -- plus a couple of dozen Plus's on hand as backups.
Still easy as pie. String some phone wire, turn 'em on and forget 'em (well, sometimes).
Fun to watch again!
My first was the Apple ][ - It was a joy after I learned programming on a TRS-80 (is that correct?) The TRS-80 was the start of it all when I programmed my first game 'Wumpus" ha! I was in 5th grade.
By 7th grade I was programming on my schools Apple computers making all kinds of games! FUN!
It has been Apple since then, and will be even as my new child is born this coming April into an Apple Family! ha!
