Oh wow. Just take a look at some of those old Apple home pages. Geee They looked great at the time. But now I can see how the current layout is so much better.

Nice. Bookmarked. The only problem is it doesn't go back far enough. My first Mac was the Mac Plus (1987): 4 MB of ram (came with 1, but added three more), a 9" BW screen. standard key board (no number pad), one (built in) 3.25 floppy (added another external floppy and a 20 MB HDD (1990)). Mac OS 6.2 (last one used with it was 7.5). That machine lasted seven years.

20MB drive... lol... I remember my first x86 machine. Took a friend with me that worked for Epson and sold drives for a living. Ended up with one that had a 80MB drive. He told me I'd never be able to fill that up.

I was trying to watch some of the older videos and ads, and none of them worked because they required Quicktime 3 xD.

Gonna be kinda tough to show you the website from that year, considering there was no internet.

Speaking of which, NPR's Science Friday replayed their 1993 program about something called the "Internet" and how it can be beneficial to our future.

It's an amazing listen because life was so different back then!
