Yes it's 19 years ago today that Steve Jobs revealed something at Flint Center, Cupertino.... a computer that eventually changed the world we live in, it's none other than the Macintosh!

So what was 'The 20th Anniversary Macintosh' of 1997-ish all about then?

Technically, Apple was born on April 1st 1976, and so the 20th anniversary mac was 20 years after that.
The first 'Macintosh' computer was produced in 1984 though, The Macintosh 128k.
All it's predecessors were named Apple I, II and such. Oh, and Lisa!
So technically, this is the 23rd anniversary of Apple Computer.
But the 19th anniversary of 'The Macintosh'
