Apple Macintosh, 1984:
The Macintosh was the product of an Apple Computer team, lead by Steve Jobs from 1981 until product release in 1984. It had features that were new to home computers, including a mouse, overlapping windows, icons, and relatively powerful graphics. The Macintosh was a complete, ready-to-plug-in unit. (Previously, hobbyists often assembled home computers out of parts from several firms.) The case design, patented by Jobs and two colleagues, has a spare, clean look that Jobs favored. |
