VL-IV Ones and Zeros and 1984

[Robin Landseadel]

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the launch of the first Apple/ 
Macintosh home computer:

	. . . Based heavily on ideas from Xerox's PARC research facility,
	the original Macintosh 128K was formally launched January
	24th, 1984 as the first mainstream computer to depend on the
	concepts of a mouse pointer, a windowed desktop, icons and
	folders. It wasn't Apple's first system of the kind -- the Lisa was
	launched just over a year earlier with a color screen -- but it was
	the first to be priced at a level average (if still well-off) people
	could afford, initially costing $2,495 where the Lisa had been
	priced four times higher. . .
