If Steve Jobs had listened to me, we'd be roughly on the Apple XXV by now. But no, instead Apple had the idea to build an easy-to-use personal computer for the masses and decided to call it the Macintosh.
Fast forward a bit, and we now just call them Macs. Thank goodness, because who has the time for -intosh these days? And if you're in a coffee shop with a laptop and it's not a MacBook, you're going to feel really awkward.
While these computers have become a core part of many people's lives, some will remember the days when the very first Macintosh hit the market. When was that?

Correct Answer: 1984
The answer is: 1984. Presented by the late Steve Jobs himself, the first Macintosh computer looked more like a drink cooler with a screen on it than the future of the world’s most valuable company. He proceeded to insert a floppy disk (ask your parents) and blow the hair off the audience with demos of text, basic art, the ability to write programs, and the crowd lost their minds seeing it be able to play chess! What a time to be alive.Source
