On January 24, 1984, the Macintosh came into the world, starting the second major revolution in the personal computer industry. Steve Jobs and team took some lessons from Xerox PARC and created THE FIRST USER-FRIENDLY, mass market computer.
By today's standards, it wasn't that user-friendly but compared with Microsoft's DOS operating system, it was a major technical innovation.
