Today is one of those days when Apple and Mac lovers tend to look askance at the past. Today, January 24, 2019, nothing more is fulfilled and nothing less than 35 years since Apple with a young Steve Jobs at the helm presented the first Macintosh. Obviously they were other times and that mythical "Hello" undoubtedly marked a company that had just launched other types of computers and in which the iPhone was something that was still a long way off.
Undoubtedly today is one of those special days that even those users who do not have company devices enjoy and it is that Apple was changing the way we see computers, as well as the way we were going to use them.
The current CEO of the company Tim Cook, dedicated a tweet a few hours ago to remember this moment and celebrate this anniversary, which is undoubtedly a key date for the company and for the millions of users it now has:
35 years ago, Macintosh said hello. It changed the way we think about computers and went on to change the world. We love the Mac, and today we're proud that more people than ever are using it to follow their passions and create the future. pic.twitter.com/oUQDJN3jRU

And it is that the Macintosh were destined to overcome the crisis of Apple's LISA computers, a task that was quite simple to carry out the baggage obtained by these computers. We were facing a home computer with the limitations of the technology of those years with 3,5-inch floppy disks and at a price that was not cheap at all, but despite all this the Macintosh triumphed and that is why today Apple and most of the fans remember them. This is a summary video of the presentation of that legendary Macintosh:
Almost $ 2.500 at the time this Macintosh cost. A price that has nothing to envy to the current prices of Mac and that puts us on our site when we criticize today the prices of the company's equipment, obviously saving the distances. But it is that this equipment was cheaper than the LISA and therefore it was one of the best sellers for all those who could afford to pay this amount for the computer.
Congratulations Macintosh!
