Chris Seibold of Apple Matters points out that today is the 19th anniversary of the launch of Apple’s groundbreaking Mac II—it was the very first Mac with color capabilities! The basic model came with a floppy drive and shipped for $3,898; you could get the fancy pants version (1 MB of RAM, a floppy drive, and a 40MB SCSI hard disk) for $5,498. We like to complain as much as the next person about how expensive Apple products are, but hey, at least they’ve gotten a little cheaper over the years.
