[cctalk] Re: The MAC at 40

I know a great deal of writings by techno-historians, computer-industry experts and technology enthusiasts concerning the Apple Mac, and now 40 years old, have covered this topic both on and off the net. Unlike originally stated I now feel that the MAC was an important change agent in regards to the all-in-one computer landscape. Why Apple priced it ‘prohibitively’ high, particularly so here in Canada, I’m not sure. Arguments such as an integrated ecosystem to securing a marketing and brand loyalty come to mind. Certainly applies to the world of Apple doesn't it! What I remember most from that time though was their 1984 Super Bowl commercial! It went a long way to putting Apple and the microcomputer industry on the mass-consumer market. Murray 😊 On Wed, Jan 24, 2024 at 7:12 PM Bill Degnan via cctalk < cctalk(a)classiccmp.org&gt; wrote:
