My first intro to the #Macintosh was at a local computer store near Seattle around 1984-5 that I would frequent after school. The store owners would kindly let me tinker and test out programs like #MacPaint on it without objection.

It would be many years before I actually owned one.

It changed my life & career.
Thank you Steve & Steve

Is it just me, or is there a strong comeback of Apple’s 80s vibe in recent digital products branding? 🧐

#NyushaTheCat and #ClarusTheDogCow are getting on very well these days 😊🐈 🍏
I got this towel from 1 Infinite Loop, Palo Alto in 1995-ish.
Apple was really on the ropes back then and, I’ve no doubt, my beach towel and novelty keyring purchase from that single, on-campus Apple Store helped them get through those hard times to where they are today.
No?

Partial set of Susan Kare’s Macintosh Classic OS bitmap icons. She had no experience with computer graphics so she referenced her work with mosaics, needlepoint, and pointillism. They were hand-drawn on graphing paper before being digitized.
