Apple co-founder Steve Jobs is stripped of his duties by the board of directors and resigns from Apple in May 1985. This event climaxes an internal power struggle between Jobs and CEO John Sculley. Ironically, Sculley joined the company in 1983 at Jobs' urging. Sculley remains the CEO until 1993. In 1997, Steve Jobs is back as Apple CEO, after the board of directors lose confidence in CEO Gil Amelio.

Apple introduces HyperCard in 1987. Created by Bill Atkinson, HyperCard allows programmers to store graphical and textual information in a series of cards. HyperCard is interactive and is geared toward the construction of user interfaces rather than the processing of data. Apple bundles the program free with Macintosh computers until 1992.

The Apple Computer Company is born on April 1, 1975. Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs design the first Apple computer in Jobs' home. Jobs is able to convince a local electronic retailer to order 25 Apple I computers. In order to raise the money to make these machines, Jobs sells his Volkswagen microbus and Wozniak sells his HP scientific calculator, enabling them to raise $1,300. http://www.printedowl.com/CalendarDetail.aspx?id=computer_history
Do I need to say anything else about the Macbook Air?
What OpenOffice is for Windows, NeoOffice is for the Mac. it can work with Microsoft Office files and even better, it's completely free. You can't go wrong with this. Why spend the big bucks! Version 2.2.1 has just been released today. Unfortunately it doesn't help me much.
Yes the Big Geek needs HELP.
I need help like nobody's business! I just recently got my hands on a working Mac G3, (Specs 400MHZ, 256M Ram) and I know absolutely nothing about Apple computers except the very basics. It came preloaded with OS 9.2.2 and nothing else. Here are my questions:
- Does anyone know of any good websites where I can get software to load on this guy? ie word processors, games, screensavers..whatever (remember this is OS 9.2 not OS X)
- Will OS X install on this machine?
- Could I replace the current basic cd drive with a DVD drive that would fit a regular windows based PC?
- Can I download the software on a windows pc and then burn to disc to transfer to Apple? And then what is the burning process? Can I burn it normally?
- Does this mean I'm a devoted Apple lover now because I'm trying to teach myself everything?
- Should I put an Apple sticker on my car window?
I would appreciate all help given.
