The More Things Change...

...the more they stay the same. 21 years later, I'm still using an Apple and have a little grey cat at my side. Granted the computers have changed a bit [as has the cat] but the concept is the same.

The Apple IIc was released in April 24, 1984. The IIc came in a rare, small, portable platinum case with a tilt monitor that featured a 9" green Flat Panel Display and could be lugged around like a suitcase. Also inluded was an external 140k 5.25" floppy disk drive of the same color. It ran a 65C02 processor running at 1.4 MHz. The IIc had 2 serial ports, one mouse port, one disk port, and 128k RAM.

The G4 Powerbook was released in 2002. It comes in small portable titanium case with a wafer-thin LCD monitor that features a 15" full color display and can be lugged around in your suitcase [or backpack]. Also included is a CD-DVDR Superdrive. It runs on a 1 GHZ processor with 1 Gig of RAM. The G4 has 2 USB, 1 Firewire and 1 Ethernet Port and a built in Airport Card.

[I can't wait to see what they have in store 21 years from now]
