in 1984 Apple had a weekend test drive with a Mac and printer. Took it home for the weekend and computerized a non profit mailing list of over 2,000. External HD from Corvus was the size of a small printer! I created a database in less than an hour. The Mac without a HD was $2,500. Been a Mac guy ever since. in 1989 my employer let me take a Mac home and I remember using Apple eWorld for dial up. Very cute Town Square interface. in mid 1980s ought a $2,500 Leading Edge clone but sold it in a few years. Today have 6 Apple products!
