In the early days eg Late 70's Apple was defiantly the Luxury end of the market in the UK - the "consumer" Personal Computer as a mass market item didn't come until several years later.
- memsom 6y agoApple was luxury in the UK until the iMac. I remember looking at the Beige G3 hardware and it being 3 or more times more expensive than my beige no name PC. My first Mac was a 6100 years after it was obsolete. I wanted to play with Macs, but they were stupidly expensive at the time.
- orionblastar 6y agoApple claimed you got more for less by using the MacOS/MacSystem instead of DOS/Windows. Apple made a lot of money being different than Microsoft. Easier to use easier to configure easier to troubleshoot. I got a Mac SE and Mac IIcx 6Macs and a G3 iMac. I don't use them I collected them over the years to see if they go up in value.
