The Macintosh turns 21 today: January 24, 2005. Some folks in Germany tracked down Mac programming legend Scott Knaster (I remember buying Mac programming books by the guy when I was a CompSci major at UPS in 19-frickin'-90), who just happened to have a videotape of the launch event. Jobs, all of - what? 28? - at the time, dressed in a suit, is clearly more excited than anyone ought to be. The video servers are overloaded, of course (Slashdot effect), but I had good luck with this mirror (20.9 MB QuickTime). 21 years. My god. And today, as Woz says, "Pretty much every computer is a Macintosh." CNET has coverage, too.
