Chris Silverman 🌻Happy #Marchintosh to those who celebrate.
decryption@csilverman this is beautiful! the story of mr macintosh makes me wish Apple kept that sort of whimsy
@decryption God, I know. That was the main reason I loved the Mac, and Apple, so much as a kid: they had a quirky sense of humor, whether it was weird easter eggs or official product design.
Someone—I believe Mitch Kapor—said, back in the 80s, that “The IBM PC is a machine you can respect. The Macintosh is a machine you can love.”
And I think that's changed. I respect the Mac nowadays (at least the hardware side of it; software's a different story) but it's not a machine I can *love* anymore.
@csilverman 100% agree, maybe when Tim Cook retires there can be a Mac renaissance
