The First MacIntosh


Just ran across this again. No clue as to where it's from. Looks like it's signed "MS."
This is exactly what happened when we got our first Mac in the late '80s. Michael Rafferty, who was working for Shelter then, started doing everything on the Mac, while I was still using my Adler portable typewriter, and laying out pages with X-Actos and glue. Took me years to migrate over…
(Actually I still do initial layout manually.)

When I started my doctoral program the height of technology was my electric typewriter with correction ribbon. By the time I finished I used one of the first Mac computers to write my dissertation. I used to drag that boxy old machine around to work on it in hotels while my husband traveled on weekends for the military. Now that does bring back memories. Thanks. - Margy
