Rig of the Day: Blast from the past

by Dave Caolo Feb 22nd 2006 at 4:00PM



Here's one for Apple's pending anniversary. Flickr user and TUAW reader jcburns posted this shot of his desk circa 1985. Note the Apple ][, Mac Plus, IBM Electronic Selectric typewriter and floppies! Enlarge the picture up to see "1984" on the desk calendar. That was a pretty sweet setup back in The Me Decade.

Hey John Muir,

I can't but help state the obvious in the fact that if the picture is circa 1985 then its 20 years old if its 12 years old like you said it would be circa 1993.

The best rig of the day of 2006 so far, and it's 12 years old. Classic! Literally.

The curtains really make it.

Wouldn't that be a 128 or 512k mac if it was from 1985?
