On This Day in History - Apple Macintosh Goes on Sale, January 24th, 1984

Today, January 24th, is the anniversary of the day that the first Apple Macintosh computer went on sale. On January 24, 1984, the Macintosh, also known as the Mac, was introduced to the world and changed the way we interact with computers forever.

The Macintosh was the brainchild of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, who envisioned a computer that was not only powerful but also user-friendly and accessible to the masses. The Mac was the first personal computer to feature a graphical user interface (GUI) and a mouse, which made it much easier for users to navigate and interact with the computer.

The Macintosh was also the first personal computer to use a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive, which made it easy to store and transfer data. The Mac was also known for its sleek and compact design, which made it stand out from the other bulky computers of the time.

The Macintosh was initially met with mixed reactions from the public and the media, but it quickly gained a loyal following and helped to establish Apple as a major player in the personal computer market. The Macintosh was the first step in a long line of Apple computers that would change the way we interact with technology and paved the way for the development of the Macintosh Operating System (MacOS), the iPhone, and the iPad.

Today, we celebrate the anniversary of the day that the Macintosh computer went on sale. It's a day to remember how the Macintosh changed the way we interact with computers and how it laid the foundation for the technology that we use today.
