Happy 40th to the Macintosh

Apple announced The Macintosh 40 years ago today. There’s a lot of great content being written and shared right now, including multiple posts from Stephen Hackett at 512 Pixels. Jason Snell also offers his reflections on Six Colors and The Verge. For podcast fans, check out Walt Mossberg’s recollections on The Vergecast.

I bought my first Mac in February of 2003, a 15- inch Aluminum G4 PowerBook, which changed my journey into technology. While it’s not turned into a career (not yet, anyway), my interest in Apple and tech generally has become a hobby and something I’ve been deeply interested in since then.


Cheers to my fellow nerds who are celebrating today!
