Most of Apple products are designed to be minimalist and appealing to eyes; that's what we can see now: glossy screen with glimmering aluminum case. However, how about Apple products 30 years ago?
In this article, you can see how much Apple products have evolved for these past 30 years. You can also see that Apple products at the old time are much more expensive than these days. And maybe you will notice that some of the non-Apple laptops still resemble Apple products 10 years ago (Woah!).

Wow, some of those computers from the 1980s look a lot like the PCs we see nowadays. Shows how little Windows based computers have changed :P
Lol, I remember my middle school had at least 20 or so Macintosh 128k's in the closet. I even got to use one for a bit. I was the computer teacher's pet. ^_^
The Lisa was launched with a GUI before the Macintosh 128. Don't mean to be picky - otherwise a good article.
Honestly, I've always been more of a fan of just putting the monitor to sleep than screen savers. Sure they look pretty awesome, but if you're sitting at your computer, are you really doing so with the screen saver on?Good luck for the dates. It has been some times since we last heard about the next tour. I hope they can run it accordingly now.YWqCIwKYAIzV99Z0
