On this day in 1984 the first Mac was introduced to the world. Newsweek awed readers with the drawing shown below which depicted the inner workings of the Macintosh 128K. For $2500 you got 128 KB of RAM, a 3.5" floppy drive, 2 serial ports, a 9-inch black and white monitor, and the Mac OS 1.0. The Macintosh was the first to have tools for desktop publishing and in 3 months 50,000 were sold. This is not as many units as the iPod but was enough to push Apple into the big-time.
