Check out this great shot posted by Flickr user wackymac. Apparently it depicts a Mac assembly line from 1984. He writes:
"This is a photo of the original Macintosh factory in Fremont, California. It was the first of its kind for the computer industry, featuring advanced automated technology with a Just-In-Time manufacturing system. It was Steve Jobs' decision to make this kind of factory for the first Macs. This factory was able to produce a 128k Macintosh every 27 seconds."
You know, the current machines are beautiful, but there's just something about the compact Macs that I'll always love.

Wow... I would love to have a larger image of that. It would make for an excellent desktop.

Does anybody know when the last domestic Mac was made? When did offshore production begin and when was it 100% overseas?

I haven't seen the photo set, but I remember lines on the floor perhaps a checkerboard pattern, to guide wee delivery robots, as being part of this operation at the time, from the fledgling Mac magazines then.
