It has been 35 years since Apple's late co-founder Steve Jobs introduced the Macintosh to the world, on January 24, 1984, at the annual shareholder meeting held at the Flint Center in Cupertino, Jobs took out the Macintosh from a bag. In celebration of the event, Apple CEO Tim Cook has tweeted the following words:
35 years ago, Macintosh said hello. It changed the way we think about computers and went on to change the world. We love the Mac, and today we’re proud that more people than ever are using it to follow their passions and create the future.The original Macintosh computer was priced at $2,495 in the US, which is equivalent to more than $6,000 today. The technical specifications of this device include an 8HMz Motorola 68000 processor, 128KB of RAM, a 400 KB floppy disk drive, and a 9-inch black-and-white monitor with a 512×342 pixel resolution.
