Twenty years ago today the band began to play...
My MacPlus had 4MB of RAM, an IOmega 20MB bottom and a 300dpi Laserwriter...man, it was heaven. There was nothing you couldn't do with FullWritePro, Pagemaker, Paint and Hypercard.
Yes, Virginia, there is a little MacPlus still huffing along serving web pages.
Welcome to this web site, which is brought to you by a 17 years old computer running 24h a day since Wednesday 7 november 2001. Presently, the web pages you are actually reading are hosted on one of the oldest unmodified personnal computer running on it's native operating system, used as a web server.
Is that cool or what?
While I crossed to the Dark Side a few years later, I'll always remember my little Mac with fondness, and the sweet $46 AAPL spread in 2000.
( BUWHAHAHAHA! What part of Dark Side didn't you understand?)
Steve Jobs is featured this week
in BusinessWeek. The guy's a genius:
iPod, iTunes, Pixar, not to mention
MacIntosh.
He also has about $25,000 of my money,
spent of Macs, since 1992.
