The Core of Apple
Apple Computer unveils a 17-pound personal computer with a five-by-seven, black-and-white viewing screen. It has a price tag of $2,495 and looks like a "towering, square, robotic Cyclops, its single disk drive an off-center mouth," reports the New York Times. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs calls the Macintosh "the people's computer."
