This is a Macintosh.
It comes from a little company
called Apple.
Apple was started in a small town
in northern California by two friends:
Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak.
United by their interest in technology,
and dissatisfied with the attempts...
... at personal computers by others,
they knew they could do better...
... and set out to make the world's
first good personal computer...
... in the form of the Apple I.
The Apple I became the Apple II.
The Apple II
became the cornerstone...
... of an industry
In 1984, Apple introduced Macintosh...
... and Macintosh thrusted the industry
forward into a new era.
Its style and ease of use
gave computers to the rest of us...
... and inspired the next revolution
in computing.
But dark times followed...
... and Apple slipped into the background
of the computer industry.
In the late '90s, a reinvigorated Apple
would return to shake things up again...
... and push the envelope of design
and engineering.
Whether you know it or not,
these events have changed your life.
We're good. We got your sound?
- Is she on speaker?
- Yeah.
Jordan, hold on.
- Are you ready to go?
- Yeah.
Okay, so this is the story...
...of how I was introduced
to Macintosh unintentionally.
My first Macintosh was an SE...
...with a 30-megabyte hard drive.
The first Mac I used
was my dad's Classic.
He had a Mac Classic, a Mac Plus...
First Macintosh I purchased
was on the day of the introduction.
Well, I had an Apple II in '79.
And then I had an Apple III.
And then I got to play with a Lisa
in 1980.
I had a Blue and White G3,
had a Lombard PowerBook...
...had a Pismo PowerBook,
had a Titanium PowerBook.
as one of the...
...you know,
first hundred people in the Mac division.
The first computer that we had...
The LC, right, which I had to
take away from you...
...because you told me
it was gonna cost $2500...
...I gave you my credit card...
Thirty-five hundred.
I think it must've been about 1980,
I played with a Lisa...
...and that changed everything.
So it had two floppies in front
and a 30-meg hard drive...
...and I thought I was in heaven.
I mean, how could anybody ever use
that much hard-drive space?
After the introduction, we were so keyed
up we couldn't really go back to work.
So that afternoon we drove around
to the different computer stores...
...in the Bay Area,
trying to purchase a Mac.
The first one I owned, the first one I
bought with my own money, was a 7200.
And I bought an expensive monitor...
...and it cost me about $3500.
I got my Aluminum PowerBook,
I had a dual 800 G4 with a SuperDrive.
I've got my G5 at home.
I stopped counting.
Yeah, you ended up spending 7000,
so I had to go...
...and retrieve the computer from you
and get it back.
And so I inerited this computer...
...that I had no fucking idea
what to do with or anything.
And it was, like, a lot of money.
I had to borrow it off my mom.
And it took me years to pay her back.
If you think about it, from '84 to 2007,
you know, that's 20-something years.
I've probably had 50 Macs.
And basically I've had a Mac
since April of '84 and pretty much...
So that's how I was introduced
to Apple.
I had to go and get it from you
and retrieve it from you...
...because you had spent too much
money on my credit card.
It was the hardest thing I ever did.
I had to go and retrieve the computer
from my own son.
Yeah, it was pretty hard, man.
It was not easy.
