Tech. Class Question

Q: What did Macintosh do in 1984 and why is it significant? So, really is it Mac or PC for you?

A: On January 24th, 1984, the first Macintosh computer was created. The Mac computer was different from the others. One of its major differences is that it was the first computer to have a mouse. The first keyboard did not have arrow keys because the computers creators were so "adamant to use the mouse". The Mac also had the fist applications (MacWrite and MacPaint). Those applications inspired other companies to come up with window interface options. The computer was one of the first toward becoming user friendly and it should take credit for "tipping the iceberg" for the technilogical progress made today.
