Happy Birthday Apple - why I love Macs
Mar 30, 2006 4:03PM PST

Can you imagine how valuable one of those original wooden box Apple computers would be? They are the antiques of tomorrow.

I still have my original Atari 1600 XL boxed up and in near perfect condition at my parents' place. I quickly grew bored of trying to draw automobile logos using Basic (it went something like 0,14 45,60, 75,75, etc.) so it went back in the box with little wear.

Anyhow, when I first encountered Macintosh and discovered I could just open MacDraft and go click click click and have a triangle in less than 3 seconds, I fell in love.

Happy Birthday to Apple.

I got hooked wayyyyy back in the Apple ][ days, when I was in middle school. Our school library had an Apple lab, and had a wireless remote controlled turtle for drawing in LOGO. Spread out a huge piece of paper, program the turtle on the computer, tell it to drop its pen (a black marker), and you were off an running drawing shapes. I remember it vividly.

Ahhhh, the good ol' days.
