11. Apple in Museum:
Early Apple, humanizing computing: Apple 1, Apple II, Mac, Powerbook 100
Apple 2.0: An exhibit featuring NeXT and Pixar (with a nod to George Lucas for American Graffiti and Star Wars, without which there would be no Pixar), where Steve Jobs became the leader Apple needed. iMac bondi blue, MacBook Air OS X, Safari, iTunes iPod, iPhone
Time will tell on more recent and future Apple products and services.

The 12th day of Apple: easy one.
What did you get from Apple over the holiday break? Do tell!
With the new job I was issued an iPhone 7 Plus. A nice piece of hardware. Sadly they also issued me an Otter Box. Total waste of money for the increased volume and added weight. In the early part of December the credit card elves also brought me a new iPad Pro 9.7 and Apple Pencil. Next mac purchase in the fall. What did *you* get?!?

Forgot to mention: AirPods delivered yesterday! Sadly, I'm two states away at work. Be home tomorrow, then time to play and perhaps a review here. Anyone else get the untethered ear candy?

Since the board is stagnant with frustration, I'm going to post some questions to fight Scrooge, the Grinch, Steve Balmer, whatever. So take 3 minutes every day and please reply. On the first day of Apple...Day 1: What was your FIRST Apple product? How did it change your perspective on work, life, technology, creativity? ~[ Aaa d.

On the first day of Apple...Day 1: What was your FIRST Apple product? How did it change your perspective on work, life, technology, creativity? I worked at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories the summer after junior year in high school, and was in my own tiny office with a Mac IIci, running Mac OS 6.04 or 6.07. Somehow I was in the Hazardous Waste Management department, but was too young to be anywhere near that stuff. I played and learned on the computer a lot, upgrading it to OS 7, putting fun little things like Oscar the Grouch Trashcan. I duplicated LabView a couple times to fill up the 80 meg hard drive. With 10,000 employees onsite, and networked, and before much computer security, you could connect to a large percent of the computers, either as a guest or with the default password of their name. The screensaver Toasters on AfterDark was popular. And I worked with the couple computer techs to update and fix people's computers, learning how to use Norton, playing with SCSI chains, and other fun things. I also got to fix a huge spreadsheet document that was scanned in, where about every 8th character was wrong. OCR software still had a some progression to make. In the fall I bought a used Mac SE, which I took to college a year later, upgrading the ram from 1 meg to 4 meg, and someone down the hall in the dorm gave me a 2400 baud modem. Things progressed from there.
