21 January 2009 No Comment

MacWorld has a look back at how the original Mac came to life. From the Apple II (in 1977), through the Apple III, the Lisa and finally the Apple Mac the story covers it all!

The original Mac featured a 9-inch black-and-white display, 3.5-inch floppy drive (which could store 400KB of data on each disk), 128KB of RAM and a Motorola 68000 processor running at 8 MHz.
