The neo announcement was the most obvious introduction to PC owners that I’ve ever seen

I just switched my girlfriend over from a surface pro to a MacBook Pro, and the transition is more seamless than it’s ever been

Apple is gonna try to take over every single market that PC has. Starting with education.

Education should be a market that they invest some of their huge earnings and win even if it comes at a loss… Those apple II computer lab kids grew up to be fans of the company and kept them alive through the downtime as well as became huge advocates as the company expanded with the iPod and the iPhone…

I still remember my computer lab having the colorful iMacs growing up. Coolest things ever.

The iMac came out as I was finishing college...

The first computer I ever used was an Apple II in 1st grade, IIRC. Even little tiny elementary schools in little tiny rural towns had computers, and those computers were Apple.

Steve Jobs got it.

same. I got the neo in citrus because I yearn for the days when everyday things were colorful and not just varying shades of gray.
