Apple Macinthosh
In January of 1984, Steve Jobs introduced the Apple Macintosh to the world, live in front of an audience of 3,000 people. Using the novel text-to-speech feature, the Macintosh’s first words were “Hello, I’m Macintosh. It sure is great to get out of that bag. Unaccustomed as I am to public speaking, I’d like to share with you a maxim I thought of the first time I met an IBM mainframe. NEVER TRUST A COMPUTER YOU CAN’T LIFT.”
